Description

Olive Garden's famous Pasta e Fagioli soup is good on cold Fall nights or rainy cool Spring days with sprinkled with some parmesan cheese on top, and a piece of crusty bread! A copycat version you can make at home.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup ditalini pasta or large ringed pasta
  • 8 oz of sweet Italian sausage
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
