Number Of Ingredients 7

4 -6 garlic cloves, chopped
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can water

Tips:

  • Choose the right beans: Different types of beans have different cooking times and textures. For this recipe, we recommend using small, firm beans like navy beans or cannellini beans.
  • Soak the beans overnight: Soaking the beans overnight will help to soften them and reduce their cooking time. If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This recipe calls for carrots, celery, and onions, but you can also add other vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, or zucchini.
  • Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. We recommend using a homemade broth, but you can also use a store-bought broth if you're short on time.
  • Season the soup to taste: Pasta e fagioli is a versatile soup that can be seasoned to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Serve with crusty bread or pasta: Pasta e fagioli is traditionally served with crusty bread or pasta. This helps to soak up the delicious broth.

Conclusion:

Pasta e fagioli is a delicious and hearty soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It's also a great way to use up leftover beans and vegetables. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious pot of pasta e fagioli that your whole family will enjoy.
