The Best Gluten Free Pasta Fagioli

Do you like soup, if so I have a great recipe for you! Pasta Fagioli it’s such a delicious comfort food and it can be made gluten free!

The Best Gluten Free Pasta Fagioli

Pasta Fagioli pronounced ( “pasta fah-jolie”) which means pasta with beans. This soup is a traditional pasta meal in many Italian homes. It’s often called pasta fasul or pasta fazool. This dish is considered more of a peasants dish.

Pasta Fagioli is a rich tomato based broth soup, made with tomato’s, onions, Italian cannellini beans, carrots, and spinach. All of these wonderful vegetables make this a perfect vegetarian soup as well.

Adding gluten free ditalini pasta noodles creates the best gluten free pasta fagioli. Meat could also be added such as roasted chicken, meatballs or ham but it won’t be missed if you don’t add it.

Tips For Making The Best Gluten Free Pasta Fagioli

Tips For Making Gluten Free Pasta Fagioli

  • Softening the vegetables for the pasta fagioli helps to lessen the cooking time.
  • Leaving the lid off the pot when cooking will help to make the soup thicker.
  • Taking half of the cannellini beans and mashing them with a potato masher and adding back to the soup makes a thicker soup as well.
  • Pulsing the Italian stewed tomato’s in a blender or food processor gives the soup a richer broth.
  • If you want to make pasta fagioli vegetarian use vegetable broth.
  • You could use any small pasta noodle for this recipe.
  • If you don’t care for spinach use kale instead or leave out the vegetable.
  • Using Italian stewed tomato’s is more flavorful but any tomato will due.
  • Adding the gluten free pasta once the soup has boiled and then simmering will keep the pasta noodle from falling apart. If the heat is too high gluten free noodles sometime become to soft and will not keep their shape.

This soup will keep in the refrigerator up to 3 days and it’s great for leftovers!
