Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion finely chopped
- 5 large cloves garlic minced
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1½ teaspoons Morton kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes use less if you don't like heat
- 2 large carrots diced
- 3 celery stalks diced
- 1 can 14.5 ounces diced tomatoes
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 8 ounces dry ditalini or elbow macaroni uncooked
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon dried marjoram
- salt & black pepper to taste
- 1 can 7.5 ounces cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
- Finely shredded Romano or Parmesan cheese for garnish
- Fresh chopped basil or parsley for garnish optional
Instructions
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for about 2-3 minutes, then stir in the garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
- Add the lean ground beef to the pot. Season with 1½ teaspoons of the kosher salt, 1 teaspoon of fresh ground black pepper, and the red pepper flakes (adjust to your spice preference). Stir well. Break the beef apart with a spoon and cook until it's browned and no longer pink.
- Stir in the diced carrots and celery. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables have softened.
- Add the can of diced tomatoes (including the juice) to the pot. Let simmer until the ingredients are better combined and the vegetables have softened slightly, about 5 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring the soup to a boil.
- Stir the dried oregano, basil, and marjoram into the pot. Season with salt & black pepper to taste.
- While still boiling, add the dried pasta and simmer (uncovered) until the pasta is al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Add the cannellini beans to the soup and allow them to heat through for a few minutes.
- Ladle the Pasta Fazool into individual bowls. Garnish each serving with finely shredded Romano or Parmesan cheese and, if desired, fresh chopped basil and/or parsley.
