Olive Garden Pasta e Fagioli - A super easy, no-fuss copycat recipe that’s wonderfully hearty and comforting, except it tastes 100x better!
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup ditalini pasta
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 pound spicy Italian sausage, casing removed
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 onion, diced
3 carrots, peeled and diced
2 stalks celery, diced
3 cups chicken broth
1 (16-ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
3/4 teaspoon dried thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 (15-ounce) can red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 (15-ounce) can Great Northern beans, drained and rinsed
DIRECTIONS:
1. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions; drain well and set aside.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add Italian sausage to the skillet and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the sausage as it cooks; drain excess fat and set aside.
3. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the stockpot. Stir in garlic, onion, carrots and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Whisk in chicken broth, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, basil, oregano, thyme, Italian sausage and 1 cup water; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, covered, until vegetables are tender, about 10-15 minutes.
5. Stir in pasta and beans until heated through.
6. Serve immediately.
