"I pared this recipe down from another one on here to suit a faster preparation. This is still wonderful!!! And of course, even better the next day! Any small shape pasta will work - I like the small shells."

  1. This is another quick and easy recipe to make. I omitted the tabascco sauce as the only diced tomatoes I had were Rotel's with jalapeno's in them. It tasted so good expecially in this cold weather. I made this for my breakfast and will eat it all week long for lunches or snacks. Thanks Charmie for posting.
     
  2. I left out the ground beef in order to make this vegetarian, so I added extra beans to the pot. I also used a 19 oz can of tomatoes, so it was a bit to acidic( my fault), so I added 4-5 Tblsp of brown sugar to cut the acidity. I also added corn, peas and carrots to the pot. This was excellent and easy to make. Thanks for the recipe
     
  3. Great recipes, and very easy to fix. Can be made in less than 45 Minutes including prep
     
  4. This was really great! Just what I had in mind when I decided I wanted Pasta E Fagioli for dinner. I added 3 stalks of chopped celery and the whole onion and cooked them along with the ground beef I was browning. I also omitted the Tobasco because I used spicy spaghetti sauce. Thanks Charmie!
     
  5. I omitted the Tabasco sauce (the version I had at Olive Garden was a bit too 'hot' and I really didn't enjoy the taste at all). I threw in some leftover spaghetti sauce made with ground beef, added some dried basil and celery flakes. Had a refill every time I've heated up a bowl for a quick meal. Will definitely make again.
