Pasta Fagioli, often called "pasta and beans," is a classic Italian dish with roots in rustic, peasant cooking. It typically combines small pasta shapes—like ditalini or elbow macaroni—with hearty beans such as cannellini or borlotti, all simmered in a flavorful tomato-based broth, often seasoned with garlic, onion, and herbs like rosemary or thyme. Optional additions include olive oil and Parmesan cheese for richness. This dish is high in fiber and plant-based protein from the beans, making it a filling and heart-healthy option. Pasta Fagioli can be made lighter with whole-grain pasta and minimal oil, but because it often features refined pasta and cheese, portions and preparation impact its nutritional profile. Vegetarian-friendly and customizable, it’s a comforting, wholesome meal that reflects Italy’s tradition of turning simple ingredients into satisfying fare.
