Low-Fat Low Cal Crock Pot Pasta Fagioli image

I developed this to have a nice tasting, but fairly low fat/calorie pasta dinner. Not necessarily traditional, but very tasty. Use enough broth to make it as thick or thin as you like it.

Time 9h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb sweet Italian turkey sausage (bulk or removed from casings)
1 medium onion, diced small
1 cup dried great northern beans or 1 cup cranberry beans
3 large carrots, sliced 1/4 inch thick
2 cups small shell pasta (shells or ditalini)
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
3 -4 cups vegetable broth (I use fat free)
2 beef bouillon cubes (or vegetable)
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried parsley
freshly grated parmesan cheese (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Soak beans overnight.
  • In the morning (or do this step the night before) brown the turkey sausage and the diced onion.
  • Drain and rinse and put in the crock pot.
  • Add the broth, beans, carrot, herbs, salt& pepper and crushed tomatoes.
  • Cook on low for 9 hours.
  • Half hour before you think it is done, bring a pot of water to boil and cook the pasta to al dente.
  • Drain and rinse to cut down on the starch in your soup.
  • Stir the tomato paste into the crock pot and then fold in the pasta.
  • Cook for another 1/2 hour.
  • Serve in nice bowls with a topping of freshly grated Parmesan and maybe a sprig of basil.
  • ENJOY!

I'm not a big fan of pasta fagioli, but this recipe changed my mind. The broth is rich and flavorful, and the pasta is cooked perfectly. I'll definitely be making this again.

This is the worst pasta fagioli I've ever had. The broth was watery and the pasta was mushy. I do not recommend this recipe.

This recipe is a keeper! I've made it several times now and it's always a hit. The broth is flavorful and the pasta is cooked to perfection. I like to add a little extra Parmesan cheese on top before serving.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great! The pasta was cooked perfectly and the broth was flavorful. I served it with a side of crusty bread and it was a perfect meal.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy meal. I used low-sodium broth and reduced-fat cheese to make it even healthier. It was still delicious!

I was a little disappointed with this recipe. The broth was bland and the pasta was overcooked. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.
