- Pasta Fagioli
This is a wonderful healthy soup. Several years ago my mother and I started taking cooking classes at the Floyd County Hospital and this was a soup that Sally Nehoff (Hospital Nutritionist) fixed for her family and shared with her class. Since then, I fix this at least once a month all winter . I modify the recipe some using our home canned tomatoes and our fresh basil. I also cheat sometimes when in a hurry and use canned beans that I have rinsed. It’s quick, easy and great ! ENJOY !!
