Vegetarian Pasta Fagioli #vegan #pasta

Vegan Pasta Fagioli is a basic, rural Italian bean and pasta soup that is very simple to make and can be on the table in pretty much 30 minutes. What's fantastic about pasta e fagioli is that it resembles two formulas in one – include more stock for a soup and somewhat less for a pasta dish!

There are bunches of local varieties – some tomato-based, others stock-based; some flimsy, others thick; some veggie lover, others incorporate pancetta or parmesan. The main thing you can make certain about is that you need pasta and beans.

Vegan pasta fagioli is the sort of dish you can make all year. Similarly as with all soups, it's warm, consoling and generous in the winter, yet with the expansion of occasional veggies like zucchini and crisp tomato you have yourself a flavorful, reviving, nutrient pressed summer soup that makes an extraordinary vegetarian fundamental dish just presented with a touch of dried up bread.
