This Italian pasta Fagioli recipe is one of my top three favorite soup recipes.   And I eat it at Olive Garden every chance I get.  But I have been working at coming up with a more traditional Italian pasta Fagioli recipe we can enjoy at the Ranch.   I think I have mastered it and the hubby says he knows I have.   And we hope you enjoy this version of our authentic Pasta Fagioli soup as much as we did.

Of course, he is my Number One fan but I think this is his favorite soup and I am sure this is just the first pot of Pasta Fagioli with sausage that we will be making at the Ranch.   This traditional Italian pasta Fagioli recipe is loaded with veggies, a mix of beef and Italian sausage, pasta, beans and the perfect blend of Italian herbs.  And it can be topped with Parmesan cheese and served with crusty bread for a great hearty meal.   
 

What’s in authentic Pasta Fagioli:

  • 1 pound of ground beef
  • 1/2 lb of ground Italian sausage
  • 2 large carrots, peeled and cubed
  • 2 stalks of celery, diced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 15oz can of tomato sauce
  • 14.5 oz can of diced tomatoes
  • 32 oz carton of chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon of dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
  • 3/4 teaspoon of dried thyme
  • 1 cup of rigatoni pasta
  • 15oz can of white great northern beans, drained
  • 150z can of red kidney beans (I used Ranch Style beans)

Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat, add the ground beef and the ground Italian sausage and cook until browned, crumbling the beef and sausage as it cooks.  We use this handy mix and chop shown in the photo to make crumbling and cooking the ground beef and sausage easy.  Remove the cooked meat mixture and drain on a paper towel-lined plate and then set aside.

Heat about 1 tablespoon oil in the Dutch oven, add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until tender, stirring occasionally.

 

Peel and mince 3 garlic cloves.    NOTE: We use this blue garlic peeler tube and also our only and favorite garlic mincer/chopper to make short work of mincing garlic cloves.
