Pasta E Fagioli
One of the most popular and well-known Italian soups in existence, pasta e fagioli translates to "pasta and beans." Once considered a peasant dish for its simplicity and cheap ingredients, it can be customized endlessly, with the only requirement being that there be pasta and beans in the recipe. Traditionalists usually choose elbow macaroni or ditalini for the pasta, but any other small variety will work. Great Northern beans or cannellini beans are most commonly used (can sub kidney beans of course). Regardless, it is a warming, tasty dish to start any meal or be eaten as a main with plenty of crusty bread for dipping.
