Pasta Fagioli

Anytime is a great day for Pasta Fagioli got to love it for sure!! It's a simple meal and very fulfilling especially with some fresh Italian Bread!!
Yum its getting me hungry now!!

1lb Ditalini Pasta (Ronzoni or Barilla or your prefrence of pasta)
1/2 head of garlic chopped
1/2 onion chopped
1 Can Canellini Beans (Progresso unless you have a preferred kind)do not drain the can once emptied in pan add one can of water
salt & pepper to your taste
garlic & onion powder 1/2 tsp each.
basil chopped up 1/4 cup
parlsey chopped up 1/4 cup

*If you are really in a pinch and you have no time and really have to something I dont ever normally do you can use a can of Sauce Contadina makes one of the best it makes a yummy Pasta Fagioli!!

Once the sauce is done you can add it to the beans,onions and garlic that is simmering put in about 1/3 pot with sauce let that simmer on low heat.

Cook your pasta separately and drain well once the sauce and beans have simmered for about 20 minutes together it should be ready for the pasta
put the pasta in the pan with everything else it will absorb the sauce don't worry if you prefer it a little soupier add more sauce.
Once it sits for a little time it will be ready for you to enjoy sprinkle some grated cheese to your liking!! You can also add pepperoni to this dish if you like a little zing and some crushed hot pepper!!


*Tomato Sauce - you will find my marinara sauce recipe here on my blog you can use that for this recipe.
I will do a quick recap for you.
1/2 onion chopped
1/2 head garlic chopped
olive oil
garlic & onion powder
basil & parlsey chopped
1 can crushed tomatoes (add water 1 can)
1 can puree tomatoes (add water 1 can)
1 can tomato paste

Heat up the oil in sauce pan and then put in onion and garlic let them brown a little.
Then put the tomatoes in and then add the water let it simmer for an hour possibly two hours until it looks cooked low heat. There will be more sauce here than you need for pasta fagioli sorry I dont know how to cook small amounts!! You can freeze the sauce or use it for another meal!!
