Pasta e Fagioli
Ingredients
Preparation
Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large soup pot. Add the onions, carrots, and celery, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook for 10 minutes. Add the garlic, crushed red pepper, and oregano to the vegetables. Cook for an additional 3 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another 5 minutes.
While the tomato paste cooks, blend about 1 cup of beans with 1 ½ cups of broth. Set aside.
Add the blended beans, additional stock/broth, and bay leaves to the pot. Allow the soup to simmer for 20 minutes.
Add the ditali to the soup and cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the pasta is al dente. Remove the bay leaves and turn off the heat. Grate Parmesan directly into the pot and stir to combine.
Serve the soup, topping with additional cheese if desired.
