Pasta Fagioli

How do we turn basic ingredients into something magical? The trick is in the method. You’ll find the full recipe below, but here’s a rundown with some extra reasoning behind it:

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs. of ground beef
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 carrots, chopped
  • 4 stalks of celery, chopped
  • 2 (28 ounce) cans diced tomato’s, undrained
  • 1 (16 ounce) can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (16 ounce) can white kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 3 (10 ounce) cans of beef stock
  • 3 tsp. oregano
  • 2 tsp. pepper
  • 5 tsp. parsley
  • 1 tsp. tabasco sauce (optional)
  • 1 (20 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
  • 8 ounces of pasta

Directions

Brown the beef and drain the fat……then put into crock pot with all other ingredients except the pasta. Cook on low for 7-8 hours or on High for 4-5 hours. Add the pasta 30 minutes before eating. Serve with crusty warm bread!!! Note: if you do not have a large crock pot, cut the recipe in half. Pasta Fagioli also freezes wonderfully, so you can make a big batch and freeze the rest!!! Enjoy everyone.
