Pasta Fagioli My Way Recipe
My vegan, low-fat way of making an Italian classic, using a combo of pureed beans and tomato paste with curly kale to hearty it up and whole-wheat pasta for nutrition.

I love Pasta Fagioli. When I was a teenager I had a boss from Sicily and she used to make this for me. I really miss it. One of my kids is vegan and it can be so hard to find things to accomodate it. Can't wait to try this out!


Interesting recipe. I might try this. Thanks for sharing.
