30-Minute Pasta e Fagioli - Kelsey

I was not expecting to cook something from the book today but I was flipping through and saw this and decided to make it. I'm glad I did, it was very good.

I did have to run to the store to grab a few things, including ridiculously expensive pancetta. I decided to half the recipe because I was not prepared to be eating this soup for a week. This changed one of my ingredients.

First, olive oil and butter. I LOVE to do this, the flavor is just perfect. 

First up is pancetta. I was only supposed to use half of the package but because it was so expensive and I didn't have plans for the other half I threw it all in. I didn't want to risk wasting it. 

Next up is an onion, garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes.

This is when I subbed petite diced tomatoes for the whole peeled since those don't come in a smaller can. 

Throw the whole can in. And a can of kidney beans and chicken stock. Oh and a bay leaf.

Let it simmer for 10 minutes. Then add in pasta. Another 10 minutes and you have soup!

This was sooooo good, easy, and fast. I will definitely be making it again!
