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. Or maybe 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!
