Crock-Pot: Pasta Fagioli

crock pot pasta fagioli

Any Italian has had pasta fagioli! My grandmother used to make it all of the time growing up. It was one of my favorite things to eat! I actually have her recipe but if you know anything about Italian Grandmothers their recipes go something like this…. “pasta, tomatoes, kidney beans”. Now, how am I supposed to know how to make that?! LOL

I used her recipe as reference but made my own version that is a twist on hers. I used the crock-pot, added my favorite Jennie-O Hot Italian Turkey sausage, some veggies and a bunch of spices to make this hearty and homey.

NUTRITION

Per serving this recipe has 450 calories, 13g fat, 50g carbs and 32g protein. If you want to reduce the carb content just use 1/2 cup of pasta, rather than 1 cup. If you want to reduce the fat content, cook the sausage and onion without olive oil (although the onions won’t saute as nicely).

GLUTEN-FREE & VEGETARIAN OPTIONS

If you are gluten-free, do not fret! Just use a gluten-free pasta! There are different brands in the local supermarket or you can even use quinoa pasta instead! If you are vegetarian, just leave out the sausage. Leaving out the sausage eliminates steps 1-3 below making this recipe easy peasy!

CROCK-POT

I made this soup in the crock-pot, however you can make it on the stove top. Follow steps 1-3 below and then add all ingredients (excluding pasta) to a large soup pot. Cook until the vegetables are tender and meat is no longer pink. Add in pasta about 7 minutes before you are ready to eat.

Hope you enjoy and this reminds you of your grandma’s homecookin!
