Pasta E Fagioli Texas Style

An online friend gave me the original recipe...and taught me how to pronounce it! I tweaked it to my texas tastes and it ended up a mighty scrumptious meal. I like to serve it with garlic toast, a nice, crisp green salad and a big glass of iced sweet tea.

Steps

Heat oil in dutch oven.
Add onion , carrots , celery and garlic and saute for 10 minutes or until vegetable are tender crisp.
Add remaining ingredients , except pasta , and simmer for 1 hour.
About 50 minutes into simmer time , cook the pasta in 1 1 / 2- 2 quarts of boiling water over high heat.
Cook for 10 minutes or until past is al dente , or slightly tough.
Drain.
Add the pasta to the pot of soup.
Simmer for 5-10 minutes and serve.
