    I like to blend up a half cup of beans into a paste and add it in,,, of course, you will need to add more liquid and adjust to your desired thickness,, I prefer a lighter color and creamy texture to mine,,, but this is only my way,,,, you can certainly make it anyway you wish,,,, TY !!!! 😁👍💕💕💕

    I’ve been down the YouTube rabbit hole looking for the perfect recipe for pasta fagioli, and I ended up using a mix of multiple channels. There is sooo many different ways to make this, I can’t complain. I ended up making my own veggie stock a few days prior. Made a sofrito (rough chopped carrots, celery, onions), garlic, olive oil, tomato paste, canned cannolini beans, and an Italian seasoning blend. Next time I’ll add a ham hock or some prosciutto to to the sofrito. Or maybe crisp up a good quality prosciutto separately and add it at the end for texture, like adding bacon bits to baked potato soup. I puréed one of the cans of beans with a little stock in a blender and added it to thicken and cream the soup. Pro tip …. I cooked the pasta separately in a half water half stock blend. Then once the soup was cooked to my liking I poured the hot soup into a bowl of the cooked pasta then added freshly grated pecorino Romano cheese and it was bliss. Cooking the pasta separately in the stock/water blend adds the flavor to the pasta while also allowing the soup itself to be frozen and able to sit for a few days or so in the fridge without making the noodles soggy. Just cook the pasta as needed if you’re not going to eat all of the soup at once.

    Hi Cara. I just subscribed to your channel because of the way you made this dish. It's exactly the same as I do it which is also the way my mother and grandmother made it. One exception is that we use butter beans instead And yes we use leftover pasta sauce. Keep up the good work as I look forward to seeing many more of your videos
