Ingredients:
1 pound ground round
1 cup chopped onion (1 small)
3/4 cup chopped celery (2 stalks)
3/4 cup chopped carrot (2 medium)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (28-ounce) can fire-roasted crushed tomatoes, undrained
2 (14-ounce) cans fat-free, less-sodium beef broth
1 (16-ounce) can red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 (15-ounce) can cannellini beans or other white beans, rinsed and drained
1 1/2 teaspoons dried italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
3/4 cup uncooked ditalini (very short tube-shaped macaroni)
2 tablespoons grated fresh parmesan cheese
Directions:
1. Cook beef and next 4 ingredients in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat until beef is browned, stirring to crumble. Drain well, and return to pan.
2. Add tomatoes and next 7 ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, 15 minutes. Add ditalini; cook 15 minutes or until pasta is done. Ladle soup into individual bowls; sprinkle with cheese.
3. Pasta e Fagioli (fa-ZHOH-lee), or pasta-and-bean soup, is a complete meal all in itself.
