Excellent soup! I just made a couple small changes- I added 3 hot turkey sausage links (removed casing and crumbled and cooked meat before adding to soup) and zucchini. I also used dried parsley and red pepper flakes because I like some spice. I didn't add pasta, but sure it would be great with that too. Top with parm cheese. Thanks for an easy, very satisfying recipe.

Very good! I added ham to it since a local restaurant puts it in theirs. And topped it with plenty of fresh grated parmesan!

Very easy & tasty! I used canned pork & beans instead of the cannellini. A great recipe that could be customized depending on what you have in your cupboard and by adding some additional vegetables, but also as is it is very flavorful! Love it - thanks!

WOW, this was amazingly good and easy. I used 2 cans cannellini beans insted of one, fresh tomatoes and basil from my garden, and some zucchini which would have otherwise gone bad. It was delicious. Next time I'll try it with spinach instead of zucchini.

This was the best soup I have ever made. I made a few additions, I added a tablespoon of red crushed peppers and a teaspoon of knorr chicken bouillon. I didn't have the canellini beans so I used white beans instead and it turned out great!

My husband and I love this soup! It goes together very easily, and tastes like you've been working on it all day! I always add a little more liquid than the recipe calls for; in leftovers the pasta seems to absorb quite a bit of the "juice." Try using canned tomatoes with "extras" in them, like diced tomatoes with onion and celery, for even more flavor. Some folks might want to add a bit of sea or kosher salt if you use the low-sodium broth.

Great! I did modify by adding Italian sausage "meatballs" to the soup. All who ate it loved it.

This soup was really good, but it felt like there was something missing. I think next time I'll add some hamburger or chicken.

I'm from Holland, lived in the States for 18 years and I add a sliced chorizo, to give it a nice zesty flavour.

I made this exactly as stated in the recipe. It was good, but next time, I will double the beans to two cans, and only use about one cup of pasta. I used about a cup and a fourth, and I think it was too much. I would also use diced tomatoes instead of stewed, because the chunks were too big. I ended up cutting them up before I added them. The soup seemed very watery at first, but it thickened after a while. My pasta (ditalini) also had to cook for more than 10 minutes. It was about 15 before it tasted al dente. Everyone enjoyed it, and I'm going to make it again, but with the above changes.

My daughter loves this recipe and always order this soup from Olive Garden and this recipe is almost as good. She gave me a thumbs up. Very easy to cook and the ingredients are so simple in fact I have them all in my pantry. I did added celery and carrots to give more veggie and used 1 28 oz of whole peeled tomatoes and just smoosh it to get the juice more since that's what I have and it turned very well. My daughter had 3 bowl and she normally eat like a bird. This is a keeper..Thanks for posting this delicious pasta e fagioli...

I'll gave it 4 stars because I made three changes, but this soup is delicious! I used 2 cans of beans and one can on diced tomatoes that i blended for a few seconds so they were smooth. (I don't like tomato chunks in soup). I also used 3 cups of water and one Vegan No Salt Added Vegetable boullion cube. Later I could taste and control the salt myself. I cooked the pasta separately (I have used Ditalini or small shells) while I simmered the soup covered for 10 minutes and then with the cover half off for 10 minutes. My apartment smelled great and my hubby who hates soup loved it. I put several ladels-full into the blender and blended, then put it back in the soup. Tasty, hearty, filling. As a vegetarian, I love this delicious protein filled soup! Makes enough for lunch the next day. Will make often! Thanks for a great recipe!

I followed this recipe to a T and loved it. The only problem I had with it was that by the time dinner was over, the remaining pot of soup was all dried up as the pasta had absorbed all of the liquid. We added more broth and enjoyed the soup again the next night, delicious!

This recipe is the great as is, but have tinkered a bit several times just to adjust a litte for personal taste. Used 2 tablespoons butter instead of oil; 1/2 box of dilatini pasta because seashells or larger pasta overwhelm the dish; 4 cloves minced garlic; only one can diced tomatoes, but in garlic/onion sauce;
