Pasta Fagioli Recipe
Make it creamy: If you want a thicker, creamier base to your soup, you can simply remove a cup or so of the soup and blend it up in a blender, then, stir the blended soup back into the pot.
Parmesan: If you have any Parmesan rind on hand, toss some into the simmering soup for extra flavor. This is a great trick that works with a lot of soups.
Use dried beans: Soak half a pound of dried great northern beans overnight (at least 8 hours), then rinse and drain before cooking. Note that soaked beans may take longer to cook and might need extra water. Expect a minimum cooking time of 20 to 30 minutes.
Add veggies: Feel free to toss leftover spinach, mushrooms, zucchini, or other veggies into your pasta fagioli for extra nutrition and to avoid wasting leftovers.
