Pasta e Fagioli is a fancy word for soup!

February 28, 2012 by Dina

and Yummy soup at that. I made this the other night for the kids and they loved it. Here’s what I put in it. I cook by grabbing whatever I have on hand so this is not an exact recipe. But it was so good.

Ingredients

4 carrots chopped into small pieces
1/2 onion chopped
tomato soup
tomato sauce
2 cups water
1 tsp garlic powder
dash pepper
dash hot sauce
1/4 cabbage chopped
box of favorite pasta

I combined the first 8 ingredients in the pot and let it simmer for 40 minutes. Then I added the cabbage and cooked 30 minutes more. The last 20 minutes I added the pasta and stirred it constantly until the pasta was cooked and made sure nothing stuck to the pan.

Do you follow exact recipes when you cook or are you a whatever I have on hand kind of cook? Tell me, inquiring minds want to know.

As I was searching around for places to take the kids this summer, don’t laugh I am a planner, I begin to clip ideas to my clipix board. What is clipix, you ask? Clipix is this cool site that allows you to clip things you like on the net and keep them all in one place so that you can refer back to it at anytime. Great idea right? Here’s a short video explaining it.

I love that! It helps that I can keep menu plans, new recipes, cool places to shop, places I would love to visit and so much more all in one spot! You have got to go to clipix and visit the site and check it out. Leave me a comment telling me what it is that you would love to clip. I can’t wait to see the ideas my readers have.

As I have looked around and thought about all the things I want to clip. I found that they have an iPhone app. That will be great to use on my iPad. What can you think of to clip?
