Wendy’s Pasta e Fagioli Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 cup onion
• 3 cloves garlic
• 2 tomatoes
• 3 cups chicken broth
• 15 oz can white kidney beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 tsp basil
• 1/4 lb pasta noodles (Ditalini, Penne or Macaroni)

Directions

• Drain and rinse the beans and set aside.
• Cook the noodles and set them aside to be added to the pasta later.
• In a large cocotte, cook the olive oil and garlic on high and sauté until brown.
• Add in the chicken broth, onions, tomatoes, basil, white kidney beans, and any additional vegetables. Let simmer for 10 – 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the tomatoes and vegetables soften.
• Add in the pasta and cook for 10-12 minutes.
• Serve with parmesan cheese. Enjoy!

*Mix up the recipe by adding additional vegetables such as mushrooms, carrots and celery.  Use whole grain pasta for a healthier option!
