"Thick pasta & bean soup best served with crusty bread or baguette. I got this recipe from Yahoo's recipe of the day. It is very simple to prepare and since I didn't have seasoned tomatoes, I added 2 tsp italian seasoning..as well I used red kidney beans..perfect for the winter season.."

This soup is great! It is a rare recipe that please my husband, my picky 3 year old, and even my twin 13 month olds! My husband who isn't a soup or a bean fan raved about it. I used kidney beans instead of cannellini and I added some chili powder. I also used a can of regular stewed tomatoes and added my own basil, oregano, and garlic powder. Great recipe!

This was amazing!! I found the tomatoes the recipe was talking about, and I also added some chili powder, crushed red pepper, italian seasoning, and sea salt. It was an absolute winner!!!!

This is a great Pasta e Fagoili dish! Easy to prepare and the flavors blended beautifully. I also used red kidney beans because that is what I had on hand at the moment and I used shredded Pecorino Cheese. Thank you zygetta for sharing this great dish. :-)
