This Crock-Pot Pasta Fagioli is an Americanized version since it contains ground beef. But it’s still very frugal and oh soooo good!!!
Pasta e Fagioli meaning “pasta and beans”, is a traditional meatless Italian dish. Like many other Italian favorites including pizza and polenta, the dish started as a peasant dish.
Today it can be widely found, even in restaurants that do not specialize in Italian cuisine.
