Pasta Fagioli Recipe
Pasta: I use this small ring pasta or ditalini, but any small pasta shapes will work.
Parmesan and Parsley: To garnish this soup, I like to sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan and fresh, chopped parsley over each serving.
How to Make Pasta Fagioli Soup
Cook the Sausage. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a Dutch oven, or a large deep pot, set over medium heat. Add the sausage and cook for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer it to a plate and set it aside.
Cook the Aromatics and Tomato Paste. In the same pot, cook the onions, celery, and carrots, then add garlic and tomato paste. Season with salt and pepper.
Add Remaining Ingredients. Combine the beans, tomatoes, tomato sauce, broth, sugar, rosemary, herbs, and cooked sausage in the pot. Bring to a boil, add pasta, and simmer until pasta is al dente.
Finish and Serve. Taste for salt and pepper and adjust to your liking. Serve the soup in bowls, garnished with parmesan and parsley.
