Pasta Fagioli

This hearty soup is a copycat version of what you'd get before your meal at Olive Garden. It starts off with ground beef and veggies and then we add in a mix of beans and ditalini pasta. It's a simple soup that's ready quickly.

Notes

You can easily swap the ground beef for ground turkey or Italian sausage, if that's your preference.

Any small shape of pasta should work here, though ditalini is more authentic.
