Delicious! I made a bulk batch of this to freeze in individual meal sized portions, and I found that adding the ditalini makes it bulk up and absorb all the broth. So if you plan to use this OAMC, or as a quick fix lunch, leave the ditalini out, freeze the soup without it, reheat, and then either add cooked ditalini or add a bit of extra water and raw ditalini. This is THE fagioli recipe. To make it a meal, add 1lb. wedding soup meatballs, and 1 lb. cooked bulk sausage. Yummy!

Pretty good. Had to add meat to it to make it a real meal for my husband. I thought it could have used some more flavor, but he liked it.

Very good! A nice way to get beans into your diet. We eat very little meat so we try and fit in other proteins as much as we can - this was a nice change from soup!

Very easy to make. I did modify the recipe to make it a little more hearty. I switched out the water with chicken broth, also used a jar of spaghetti sauce. Added extra vegetables like squash, matchstick carrots, a can of mixed vegetables. I also changed the can of cannellini beans with kidney beans. Everything else I left the same. Very good,everybody had seconds and ate hardly any of the salad I made to go with it. Thanks for sharing

My husband loved this; however, I had a hard time cutting the recipe for just the two of us! Found myself giving leftovers away to everyone I knew. PS. they loved it too!

Sooooo good! I used chicken stock instead of water, 1 can tomato sauce with 1 can diced tomatoes, 1/3 pound of pasta and added 1 lb of ground beef. Excellent!

My boys love their "Mama's pasta and beans" it is such a simple recipe but I am so afraid of messing it up and my boys no longer eating it. So on Good Friday I went searchng for a recipe similar to my mothers but not exactly it. This was the closest to it and it was delicious! The boys ate it (although they still love Mama's better) and even my husband said it was very good. I made it exactly as the recipe stated. Thank you for sharing!!

This recipe was okay, but I'm not sure if I'd make it again. It smelled really good while simmering on the stove but left a bad aftertaste in my mouth after dinner, and I doubt the leftovers will get eaten.

I really liked this recipe. It makes a ton and is very economical, too. Next time I'll try it with sausage as other reviewers suggested.

I have found several good recipes on this site, but this is my favorite! It's easy, delicious, and healthy, what more can you ask for? This is also one of the few recipes that everyone in my family loved. I took the advice of some of the other reviews and replaced the water with chicken broth and the tomato sauce with two 14 oz cans of italian seasoned diced tomatoes and it's perfect. Will definitely be one of my regulars! Thanks for this great recipe!

We really liked this. I didn't feel like it was too much pasta--we used radiatore, because that's what we had and it soaked up the sauce deliciously. I also ended up using a bit of crushed red pepper on mine at the table, and that was really good. I have always had very plain pasta e fagioli, and this was different and delicious. Thanks!

I love this soup (and so did everyone I served it to -- they were were scraping the bottom of the pot)! After trying it a few times at local restaurants, I needed to find a great recipe for it -- and I did (plus it's fast). Changes I made were using chicken broth instead of water, and using Great Northern Beans instead of cannellini and navy beans (I like them better). I waited to add my pasta and parmesean cheese till the end as suggested by other reviewers. Next time I will only use about 1/3 lb. of pasta, and I'll probably add another can of beans and maybe try not draining them (I like a strong bean flavor). Thanks Andrea!

wow - this was the first time i've tried making pasta fagioli and it was spetactular. i sampled the entire time i was cooking! i made my own red sauce which made it better. i used 4 cups chicken broth and 1.5 cups water, and added a bit more salt and pepper. i also used fresh parsley and fresh basil which added a lot more authentic flavor. about 2/3 pasta was still too much! next time i'll half it. overall, spectacular recipe!

This was fantastic. I used suggestions from others: chicken broth instead of water and half the pasta (which was more than enough. I added cooked ground turkey (seasoned with garlic) because my husband wanted some meat. I don't think it needed it, but it was really tasty. I will definitely be making this again!

I added a few chopped up links of mild Italian sausage. We made this batch to take to play in the snow. We fed ourselves and gave out quite a bit to other travelers. We still had left-overs. It tasted the same fresh and frozen. Will make again.

Excellent recipe, I took the advice of others and used 2-14oz cans diced tomatoes in place of the sauce. Doubled the onions and garlic, used chicken broth instead of water. Added 1/2lb italian sausage, casing removed and cooked, decreased the pasta to 1/2lb. Sprinkled the parmesan cheese onto each individual bowl just before serving. Will be making again....

I liked this one: I used half the amount of pasta like others had recommended and added the parmesan cheese just before serving - I added spinach to this and cut up some kiebasa since I did not have sausage. My 3 yr old boy loved it! My 7 yr old was less impressed, but I cannot please everyone in my house! The pasta did absorb a lot of the moisture. I had cooked it seperately and added it the last few minutes of cooking. It needs something else.. maybe worcestershire? But overall I liked this one.

This soup was delicious and so easy to prepare. I used half of the recommended amount of tomato sauce and added a can of diced seasoned tomatoes. I used chicken broth instead of water. Next time, I will wait until I am ready to serve the soup to add the parmesan cheese, because it stuck to the bottom of the pot.
