Pasta e fagioli, or pasta and beans in English, is a delicious and hearty soup for any time you’re in the mood for warm comfort. This crock pot pasta e fagioli recipe pairs ground beef with all sorts of delicious veggies, chicken broth, beans and delightful ditalini pasta. Once it’s in the slow cooker, it’s basically a set-and-forget recipe thats ready when you are later in the day.<\/p>\n
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef and onion until the beef is no longer pink and the onion is tender. Drain the grease.<\/p>\n Transfer the beef and onion to a 4-quart or 5-quart slow cooker. Stir in the broth, tomatoes, beans, carrots, cabbage, celery, basil, garlic, salt and pepper. Cover and cook on low until the vegetables are tender, for about seven to eight hours.<\/p>\n Stir in the pasta. Cover and cook on high heat until the pasta is tender, about 30 minutes. Sprinkle each serving with Parmesan cheese, if desired.<\/p>\n Store crock pot pasta fagioli in airtight storage containers rather than in the actual crock pot. Place the containers in the refrigerator and enjoy the contents within three days, or freeze some for later. (Is it even possible to have any left to freeze?)<\/p>\n Great news: crock pot pasta fagioli can be stored in the freezer for up to three months. Keep it in portion-sized airtight storage containers or freezer bags with the excess air pressed out. This way they’ll stack flat. Thaw frozen pasta fagioli in the refrigerator the day before you plan to eat it. Reheat it in a saucepan, adding at least a tablespoon of water, as the dish thickens quite a bit when the pasta absorbs liquids.<\/p>\n Yes, pasta fagioli can be made on the stovetop, too. Brown the ground beef and onion in a pot (rather than in a skillet) then add the other fresh vegetables, broth and seasonings. Cook while covered for about 45 minutes or until everything is tender. Add to it the ditalini, cooked according to package directions.<\/p>\n Other small pastas that work well for pasta fagioli include small shells, small elbow macaroni, stelline or little stars and mini farfalle or bow-tie pasta. Since pasta gets larger as it cooks and potentially absorbs liquid over time, it’s best to stick with small pasta varieties for this dish.<\/p>\n Yes, cooking the ditalini separately, according to package directions, is an excellent way to keep the pasta from turning mushier after a couple of days. If you’re making the dish intending to freeze it, cooking the fagioli portion separate from the pasta helps ensure the pasta stays supple when thawed and reheated.\u00a0 You can also make the fagioli portion of the recipe and make the pasta once you’re ready for a bowl of deliciousness.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Crock pot pasta fagioli is a hearty bean-and-pasta soup that’s packed with nutrition thanks to the vegetables in this dish.
