How To Make pasta fagioli

  • 1
    In a large pot, saute garlic in olive oil over low heat (careful not to burn it). Add tomatoes, water, bouillion cubes, oregano and pepper.
  • 2
    Simmer, covered, 30 minutes on low heat. Add kidney beans with liquid, and cook 5 more minutes.
  • pasta cooked and ready to go into soup
    3
    Cook macaroni according to pkg. directions, drain well, and add to beans and sauce. (It will be soupy at first, but will dry up a little the longer it sits). We wait 10-15 minutes before serving. If you are really hungry, you don't have to wait. The taste is the same either way. Enjoy. :)
