Pasta e Fagioli, or pasta and bean soup, is the essence of Italian comfort food. Quick cooking ramen noodles get you there faster, but there's no need to let on to your Italian nonna that you didn't use Italian pasta. Chock full of vegetables and beans, this soupy-stew is meant to be thick and hearty.

Wow this sounds great! I will definitely try this receipt. My son was just asking me to buy ramen noodles. I told me it was too salty, but now I'm going out to buy some and make this! I have to agree teens won't make this, but working mom's will!

This sounds like a great soup, but I agree that college students aren't going to be making it. I'm saving this recipe for cold weather use. Thanks for sharing

Beautiful Day!

I agree, college kids do not have a full pantry. Nothing to cook with. They have cereal, ramen noodles and whatever the folks bring during visits. They only make the cereal and ramen noodles when they don't want to leave the apartment.

If the college student is using Ramen nooddle because it's cheap, I doubt if they would have all those other ingredients, might as well go for the dollar burger, Arbey etc !!

I would go one step further and forget the ramen noodle package and buy noodles at the asian store and use a handful at a time. college kids are not going to make this stuff on a consistent basis anyway
