Sep. 9, 2008 - Tightwad Tuesday
Make sure to go visit Mary to join in the fun of Tightwad Tuesday. As I previously posted I am trying to stay out of the grocery stores during the month of September. Here's a favorite family recipe for Pasta Fagioli (pronounced Fazool- for all you non-italians :) )
Pasta Fagioli
3 tbs. olive oil
4 stalks of celery chopped
1 onion diced
2 cloves of garlic minced
4 cans of Bush's canned navy or northern beans (blended in a food processor or blender until liquid paste)
2 large containers of chicken broth ( or 64 oz. of chicken stock)
1 lb. elbow macaroni (cooked and drained)
Heat the oil in a skillet. Simmer celery, garlic and onions until soft. Season with oregano, basil and italian seasoning.
In a large pot add the chicken broth, bean paste and the simmered vegetables. Let simmer for about 10-15 minutes. Add cooked elbow macaroni and simmer 3-5 minutes more. Enjoy!
A hearty, inexpensive meal. Soooo yummy and great with crusty bread.
