Another Soup Recipe – Pasta E Fagioli My Way

I love Pasta E Fagioli. It’s so deeply satisfying, I could eat it anytime, no matter the season. But I do it a little differently. I don’t use traditional semolina pasta. I use a high-protein variety like this one. Some people don’t like the taste of alternative pasta selections but I find the strong flavors in the soup can mask any difference in flavor.

If texture is your issue, this is the closest to regular pasta for texture I have found. It’s gluten-free and made with brown rice. If you didn’t know, you wouldn’t know you aren’t eating regular pasta. Buon Appetito!

Pasta E Fagioli

  • 2 cans cannellini beans
  • 1 cup pasta of your choice
  • fresh basil or vegan parmesan cheese for garnish

Instructions

Notes

You can also cook this in a large pot on the stove top. I use the slow cooker because it's easy.

    Hi Karen, thank you for this wonderful receipe. Pasta E Fagioli is SO good but I have never made it myself (unless warming it up from Olive Garden counts, which I don’t, lol). I will definietly bookmark this and try it soon. Thanks again for sharing.

      It’s really good and so much better for you than takeout. You know exactly what is going into it when you make it yourself.
