Notes

  • Pasta Fagioli is an Italian soup that translates to pasta and beans. It originated as a pheasant dish composed of very inexpensive ingredients.
  • The matriarch of our family, Mafalda DelGrosso, loved adding mushrooms to her Pasta Fagioli, so feel free to experiment with a variety of vegetables or even meat to add texture and flavor to your soup.
