How to Make Pasta e Fagioli (Italian Pasta and bean soup) (VIDEO)
This is my recipe for delicious home made Pasta e Fagioli. Enjoy! – Hedy
Recipe: Pasta e Fagioli
2 – 19 oz. cans of Progresso Cannelini Beans
1 – 28 oz. can of tomatoes of choice (puree, peeled tomatoes, crushed tomatoes, tomato sauce) – I use tomato sauce or puree
6 cloves of garlic sliced
6-8 basil leaves
1 lb. of small pasta (Ditalini, Elbows, Small Shells)
¼ cup of oil of choice (extra virgin olive oil, canola oil)
1/4 lb. Pancetta or Prosciutto (optional)
Salt to taste
Pepperoncini (optional)
Grated cheese (parmesan, Reggiano, Locatelli)
Saute garlic and basil (add pepperoncini if using) in oil for a few minutes until the garlic sizzles. Add tomatoes and beans. Simmer for about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile cook the pasta in a pot of salted water until they are al dente. When pasta is done, drain off most of the cooking water saving about two cups and place in large serving bowl. I like the pasta e fagioli more liquidy and not thick. If you like it thick, do not add the extra pasta water.
Add a good part of the fagioli sauce to the pasta leaving some to top off each of the bowls. The recipe should serve 6-8 people with just a normal size portion. Sprinkle with grated cheese.

LOVE your videos. You do a great job. Thank you!
I love your channel because even though I'm from across the river (and a bit older) you make things the way I like. I'm having oral surgery later in the week and knew a big pot of fagioli, cooked a little soft, will see me through. I prefer without the meat! Gratzia mille!
You have such a great, easy style. You are like the Italian Ina Garten (the Barefoot Contessa)! Love watching your videos!
