Barefoot Contessa Pasta Fagioli is an Italian recipe made in a unique way of cooking pasta in vegetable soup and then topping it up with yummy toppings. I do not add any of the cream ingredients in this recipe and love a lot of cheese at the top of this pasta. Cheese on soup is also a good combo which I discovered when I first tried this recipe.
