Recipe Summary Pasta Fazool (Pasta E Fagioli)
This classic Italian-American comfort food works with any kind of sausage, but I like the fennel and anise flavors of sweet Italian sausage with the beans--it's a hearty soup that's fast and easy to put together.

Brown sausage while breaking it into small pieces, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Add diced celery and chopped onion. Cook until onions are translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Add dry pasta.

Serve topped with grated cheese, if desired.This recipe makes enough for 2 large portions or 4 smaller ones.Info | Pasta Recipes With Vegetables And Chickenprep:
