Pasta e fagioli soup is rich with pasta, beans, tomatoes and Parmigiano Reggiano® cheese. Also known as pasta fazool, it’s a complete meal when you serve it with slices of wholegrain bread or Parmigiano Reggiano Breadsticks. There are lots of variations on this one pasta fazool soup recipe: For a creamier version, purée half the beans before adding them to this particular pasta e fagioli soup recipe. You can also add vegetables like zucchini or roasted peppers, or leafy greens like Swiss chard, spinach, or escarole. Instead of parsley, finish your pasta and fagioli soup with fresh basil, or make pasta e fagioli soup with broken pieces of spaghetti or fettuccine if you don’t have elbows or shells.

Ingredients:

3 oz. Pancetta (diced)

1 Onion (chopped)

2 Garlic cloves

2 Celery stalk (chopped)

2 Carrots (chopped)

1/2 Fennel bulb (chopped)

2 tbsp. Olive Oil

3 cups Parmigiano Reggiano Broth or Chicken Broth

28 oz. Tomatoes (canned, crushed)

1/2 tsp. Oregano (dried)

Salt (to taste)

Pepper (to taste)

15 oz. Cannellini Beans (canned)

1 cup Small Pasta such as stelline or acini di pepe

1/4 cup Parsley (chopped)

1 cup Parmigiano Reggiano (grated)

For a better experience always use authentic Parmigiano Reggiano, made in Italy.
