Hearty Pasta Fagioli With Beans
Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, quartered then halved
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 5 1/2 cups water
  • 1 (29 ounce) can tomato sauce
  • 1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans
  • 1 (15 ounce) can navy beans
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pound ditalini pasta
Instructions
1
Preheat your stovetop to a medium heat level, and pour olive oil into a substantial cooking vessel. Allow the oil to warm up before adding the onion, which you will then cook and stir constantly until it becomes transparent and soft. Next, add the minced garlic to the pot and continue cooking until it reaches a tender state.
2
Next, decrease the heat level of your stovetop and introduce water, tomato sauce, cannellini beans, navy beans, Parmesan cheese, parsley, basil, oregano, and salt into the pot. Stir everything together thoroughly before letting it simmer for an extended period of time, approximately 1 hour.
3
In a separate cooking vessel, bring a substantial amount of water to a rolling boil. Add salt according to your preference before introducing the pasta into the boiling water. Allow it to cook until it reaches a tender yet still slightly firm texture, typically taking around 8-10 minutes. Once cooked, drain the water from the pasta and then stir it into your soup.
4
Combine the cooked pasta with the simmering soup, blending their flavors together to create a harmonious dish.
