Add a photoYou’ll love, love, love this rich and hearty soup! It tastes very similar to the pasta e fagioli at Olive Garden. It’s one of the lowest-fat items on the Olive Garden menu, with 2.5 of fat per serving. Our recipe actually contains more calories than theirs does because we’ve added more beans and veggies. The skinny on 1 cup of soup is 156 calories, 2 grams fat and Weight Watchers POINTS PLUS 4. So flavorful, this recipe makes a TON of soup to stock your freezer with. It’s great as a first course or double the serving size to 2 cups and it becomes a very filling main course soup. You’ll want to add this satisfying dish to your soup repertoire. It’s a keeper for sure…

07 de Septiembre de 2013True Italian Pasta Fagioli does not have ground meat. Not sure why Olive Garden puts ground beef in there's. Pasta Fagioli was considered 'peasant' food.....those who could not afford meat would prepare this hearty dish for the family. Then it became a dish many Italian Catholics would prepare on Fridays for dinner during Lent (when meat was not allowed).
My opinion, ditch the ground meat in the recipe, and you will make it even healthier than before.
14 de Junio de 2012Oops...So sorry Mary. It's 1/2 cup of water. Here's the link to my original recipe-http://www.skinnykitchen.com/recipes/make-olive-gardens-delicious-pasta-fagioli-at-home/1 reply
Hope you enjoy it!
- 30 de Marzo de 2011My recipe is lower in calories and fat due to draining the beef before adding to the soup. Just by doing this simple step, you cut down on the fat and calories.
