Ingredients

How to make it

  • Remove the casing from the sausage and cook over med. high heat in a large dutch oven make sure to crumble the sausage into fine pieces. Drain any greases that are left from the frying.
  • In the same pot add your garlic and onions and cook till onions are clear. Add parsley and italian seasonings.
  • Add beans, stock and tomatoes to the mixture and season to taste. Let this simmer at low heat for at least 2 hours. ( I usually make this portion the day before and refridgerate overnight.)
  • In a seperate pot boil 3-4 quarts of water, once it has boiled add a hand full of kosher salt. Add your ditalini and boil till slightly more than el dente is achieved. Firm not mushy but not hard - since this is added to the soup it will continue to absorb moisture out of the soup if it is too el dente. Reserve 1 cup of the noodle water. Drain noodles and give a 2 tbsp exyrs virgin olive oil drizzel over the noodles.
  • Add noodles to soup along with the 1 cup of reserved water. To serve the soup place in a shallow soup bowl - shave a few nice pieces of Parmasano Regiano cheese on top and serve with a slice of semolina bread.

    Man, this sounds just like my aunt used to make and did we copy it down or ask her when she was alive? NO!! One question...the cans of tomatoes...are they the 28 oz. cans? Can't wait to have this.

    Have made an Olive Garden Kopykat recipe for this soup but this looks much better with the sausage in it. My youngest son(15) loves Paste e Fagioli soup so I will give this a try. Do you have one for Suppa Toscana? Thanks for the post.

    OMG, this is wonderful, just got through eating - I ate way to much. It's one of those recipes thats says bet you can't eat just one bowl. What a winner, I'll be making this REAL often, my husband just raved and raved about it. His all time favorite is chicken and rice soup, but he admitted today this Pasta Fagioli takes it's place, never thought I would ever see the day he would say anything was better then chicken and rice soup. VERY GOOD, thanks so much for posting this.
