[LEFSElover]

love pasta fagioli.
am thinking of making it when we return.
just found this but I've changed it a bit to my liking.



"Pasta Fagioli"

• 1 small carrots chopped small
• 1 medium onion chopped
• 1 celery stalk chopped fine
• 3 cloves garlic sliced thin

• 1 t dried oregano
• 1 t dried marjoram
• 1 t dried thyme
• salt and pepper to taste
• pinch red pepper flakes
• 1 can chicken broth OR 1 chix boullion cube and 1 c H20
• 2 cans diced tomatoes in juice [with basil] the size cans are the smaller ones down from 29 oz so are they 14 oz? probably a little larger than a typical soup can size
• 1/2 can tomato sauce so 4 oz.
• 1 c baby conck or elbow pasta [uncooked]
• 1 or 2 can cannolini beans drained/rinsed
  

• Butter and oil in skillet to melt, add beef, break up, cook pink out then add...carrot/onion/celery/garlic, cook to wilt about 4 minutes, add spices, stir, add broth/tomatoes w/liquid/tomato sauce/pasta/beans and stir to combine. Check/taste for seasoning, cover, simmer on low until pasta is cooked about 20 minutes then stir in 1/2 t fresh rosemary chopped fine, cook 2 minutes longer. Spoon into a bowl and shred shards of parm cheese on top.

the original recipe called for more, but I felt the same so cut it back to only 1/2 lb or could be less I suppose, cause I haven't either, but sounded good to me. Could omit it altogether too Buckster, that'd be fine too............ Hey Buck, check your pm.

auh, thanks {{{Miss V}}}....................

I am going to guess at 14 oz. - I feel very safe in saying that.
