Guest guest Posted August 12, 2002 Report Share Posted August 12, 2002 Pasta e Fagioli The fiber-rich combo of pasta, beans and veggies makes for heart-healthy, rib-sticking goodness. Serve with crusty whole-grain bread; assorted imported olives; fresh pears for dessert. Ingredients 1 - medium onion, chopped 1 - can (14 oz.) recipe-ready tomatoes with Italian seasonings 1 - can (15 oz.) Great Northern or cannellini beans, drained and rinsed 2 cups vegetable broth 1 cup dried pasta, such as rotini or elbow macaroni 1 oz. freshly grated Parmesan or pecorino Preparation - Estimated cooking time: under 30 minutes - 1 Generously coat a large saucepan or Dutch oven with olive oil cooking spray and set over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring, until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes. 2 Stir in tomatoes and their juices, beans and broth. Add a generous grinding of black pepper. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in pasta and cook until tender but firm, about 12 minutes. Add more stock, pepper and salt, if needed. 3 Ladle the thick soup into bowls and sprinkle with grated cheese. ===== Language is an expression of thought.
