HORRIBLE - the only word I can use to describe this recipe. I followed the recipe exactly and it was not good. Too much of a garlic taste too thick. Maybe I did something wrong. Definately will remove this from my recipe box. Read More

This was good but not great! I had to add salt and pepper because it was a little bland. I think next time a may have to try a different recipe. Read More

This is such a simple soup to make and it goes a long way on flavor. And I had everything in my pantry to make it. I would just add celery to make this more like my Nonna made it. Don't skip on the grated parm! Deliziosa e riempimento! Read More

I know there are different variations to recipes but why mess with the mail ingredients. First I had problems trying to find "cranberry beans"....no one knew what I was talking about. After it was done it didn't even look like the Pasta Fagioli that I am used to eating. I usually don't give a bad review..... Sorry.... Read More

Very tasty and easy to prepare! I added a few more spices and used cannellini beans instead of cranberry beans (only because thats what I had on hand) but I didnt change the recipe much and it was great! Read More
