How to Olive Garden Recipe For Pasta e Fagioli

My sister gave me this recipe for Olive Garden Pasta e fagioli. I do not eat beef so I am making mine with ground turkey. It is really good it's a must try recipe. I'll walk you through how to make this recipe for Olive Garden Pasta e fagioli step by step.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 small onion, diced (1 cup)
• 1 large carrot, julienned (1 cup)
• 3 stalks celery, chopped (1 cup)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 14.5-ounce cans diced tomatoes
• 1 15-ounce can red kidney beans (with liquid)
• 1 15-ounce can great northern beans (with liquid)
• 1 15-ounce can tomato sauce
• 1 12-ounce can V-8 juice
• 1 tablespoon white vinegar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon oregano
• 1 teaspoon basil
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon thyme
• 1/2 pound ditali pasta

1. 
    
   Brown ground turkey

   Brown your beef or ground turkey.

2. 
    
   carrots, onions & celery

   I also had no clue what a julienned carrot was so I just made mine in small pieces. Add your diced carrots, onion, celery and garlic. Add that to your meat and slow cook for about 10 minutes.

3. 
    
   simmering

   Add remaining ingredients. And simmer on low for an hour. (Save the pasta for the last step.)

4. 
    
   noodles added

   Cook your pasta in boiling water. You don't want it fully cooked as it will get mushy. I again didn't have ditali pasta so I used Penne. Add that to your soup and let simmer again for an additional 10 minutes for the flavors to blend together.

5. 
    
   Pasta e Fagioli

   Serve up and enjoy! Mine was delicious.
