Here is the recipe for Pasta e Figioli - VERY GOOD! FREEZES WELL also.

2# ground beef
1 T. olive oil
1-1/2 cups onions, chopped
2 cups carrots, sliced thin
2 cups celery, diced
1-28 oz. can diced tomatoes
2 cups canned red kidney beans
2 cups canned white kidney beans
2-48 oz cans beef broth
1 T. oregano
2 tsp. pepper
1-1/2 tsp. tabasco sauce
3-16 oz jars of spaghetti sauce
8 oz shell pasta
1 T + 2 tsp. chopped fresh parsley

1) Saute the beef in the oil in a 10 qt. pot until the beef starts to brown. Add the onions, carrots, celery, and tomatoes and simmer for about 10 minutes.

2) Drain and rinse the beans and add to the pot. Also add the beef broth,oregano, pepper, tabasco sauce, spaghetti sauce and pasta.


3) Add the chopped parsley. Simmer until the celery and carrots are tender, about 45 minutes. Ladle the soup into bowls.

Serves 10

forgot to mention, do not cook the pasta beforehand, it will get too mushy if you do.

2 cans of cannelloni beans
dried or fresh oregano and Italian spices to taste.

Boil the pasta until al dente. (not quite all the way) pour out most of the water in the pan, but leave an inch or two. add the tomatoes, sauce, strained and rinsed beans and spices to taste. re-heat until all is hot- serve with fresh shredded parmesan or romano cheese.

I was married to a musician for 15 years. When I was awakened in the middle of the night to feed traveling musicians- this was the dish- easy, quick, filling and tasty. It also freezes well/

Love the above but isn't the marinara along with tin toms too sloppy?
