Pasta e Fagioli
A hearty cousin to minestrone soup, this thicker, richer soup has pasta and beans and the smoky flavor of bacon simmered with rosemary, garlic and classic soup vegetables. The variety of ingredients makes this an authentic Italian meal in a bowl that’s cozy and satisfying in cold weather.
