Spicy Pasta Fagioli

---

Saw this in a 2009 issue of family circle. i tweaked it a bit to suit our taste, and dh was very happy with the results. it's really easy to make and is ready in no time. The capicola gives it quite a bit of a kick--that's why i've tagged it (spicy)--so i would go easy on the pepper until you taste test. if you you try it, i hope you enjoy it.
