Beans Pasta Recipes

Fresh & creamy.

This great tasting Italian soup is rich in fiber and it is very nutritious.

NOTE: This is my original recipe that I shared on my website (http://socialcafemag.com/pasta-fagioli-pa
sta-and-beans-soup/)

Quick pasta dish with taste of creamy Alfredo minus fat and calories.

This recipe is directly from skinnytaste.com with no modifications.

I typically omit the cheese and might add in some carrots or red bell peppers.

Variation on Pasta e Fagioli

VERY simple recipe, and low in carbs! Make's a GREAT small side with mashed potatoes/pumpkin and schnitzels/steaks/grilled meats.

easy and cheap/makes 8 servings

you may want to 1/2 the recipe if you don't want to eat it all week long

A light "salad"-type dish. The warm pasta slightly wilts the spinach and softens the cheese.

I love all things kale. When I saw Lacinato Kale (also called Tuscan or Dinosaur kale and Cavolo Nero) on my last trip to the grocery store, I knew I had to buy it and make this dish! I cooked pasta and added it to the dish. My favorites are Bionaturae whole wheat fettuccine and Garofalo whole wheat farfalle. The nutritional value for the pasta is NOT included in the recipe because there are so many varieties, so be sure to include whatever pasta you use as a separate item on your nutrition tracker.

This is something I just threw together one day. It was such a hit, I added it to my family's favorites. We sometimes add chicken and make it a main dish. It is a great dish to take to a pot luck too!

Pasta and Bean Soup (White) - There are almost as many version of this traditional Italian soup as there are Italians! Unlike what seems to be most frequently seen in Italian restaurants in the U.S., this version is what you will most frequently (in my experience) be served in an Italian home.

Great for cold winter nights but also light enough for simple summer dinner

This is a recipe that I got off of a website that I frequent.

A super easy, super fast meal. Found a recipe in Women's Day and doctored it up a bit with multigrain pasta and added beans for more fiber and protein.

This is a great recipe for the pasta lovers as well as those that need the extra fiber. It is easy and and very filling. Low cal too.

This is a satisfying vegetarian main course that takes full advantage of the flavor possibilities of garlic, here cooked until soft for sweetness and body, sautéed until golden for depth, and added raw for brightness.

Crusty bread and radicchio with Italian dressing make nice sides. End with red grapes and anise-dusted sugar cookies.
