Pasta e Fagioli – Super Simple Version

Ingredients:
1 14-1/2 oz can diced tomatoes with seasoning, undrained
1 15 oz can cannellini beans, drained
1 15 oz can red kidney beans, drained
1 can worth of water or broth
1/2 stick of pepperoni, cut into small chunks
4 oz uncooked small pasta (shells or ditalini)
Italian seasoning to taste (We use Mrs Dash Salt-Free Garlic & Herb Seasoning Blend)

Instructions:
Put all canned ingredients and pepperoni in a large pot.
Cook on medium heat until everything is heated through and the liquid is hot.
Add the pasta and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, until pasta is done.
Add seasoning to taste and serve with a nice loaf of bread.

Note: Yes, Pasta e Fagioli can contain meats. My husband’s family always made it with pepperoni. According to my father-in-law, it’s an Italian version of chili.
