Pasta e Fagioli Instructions

  1. 1

    Soak the Beans

    Rinse the dried cannellini beans and soak them in water overnight or for at least 6 hours.

    Cook the Beans

    Drain the soaked beans, place them in a pot with fresh water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 1 hour until tender. Drain and set aside.

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté until vegetables are soft, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked beans, vegetable broth, diced tomatoes (with their juice), bay leaf, salt, and black pepper to the pot. Bring to a simmer.

    Add Pasta

    Stir in the dried pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes.

  6. 6
