HOW TO MAKE Pasta Fagioli
Pasta e Fagioli Soup is a very easy recipe to make, with a little sautéing, then the rest is opening up a few cans and dumping everything into the same pot. Let’s walk through how to make it with step-by-step photos (full printable recipe at the bottom of the post):
Step 1: Brown the sausage and sauté the vegetables. Start by browning the sausage and onions in a large Dutch oven, crumbling the sausage as you go. Once almost cooked through, add the carrots and celery and cook until the onions are tender. Lastly, add the garlic and red pepper flakes and continue to cook until the the vegetables are tender.
Step 2: Add the tomatoes and herbs. Add the crushed tomatoes, fire roasted tomatoes, water, Parmesan rind, herbs and spices to the pot. The soup will be very thick at this point, but we’ll thin it out later with broth.
Step 3: Simmer the soup. Cover and simmer the soup for about 10 minutes over low heat to give the ingredients flavors time to build and meld. Step 4: Simmer the broth, beans and pasta. Add the broth and beans to the pot and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, add the pasta and cook until al dente (don’t overcook!), about 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently. The soup will still be a little brothy at this point, but it will quickly become more of a chili-like consistency before serving.
Step 5: Add Parmesan. Discard the cheese rind and bay leaf, then sprinkle in freshly grated Parmesan. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with additional Parmesan and fresh herbs, if desired.
