Olive Garden Pasta E Fagioli

"My version of pasta e fagioli soup features ground beef, two kinds of bean, and a secret trick to make sure the pasta is never overcooked. This easy recipe is even better than what you get at Olive Garden. Why Our Recipe Is the Best: A Sprinkle of Food Science We Use Bacon: Sautéing the veggies with bacon infuses the whole dish with a meaty backbone. We Cook And Keep Our Pasta Separate: This prevents it from overcooking and getting mushy. We also add our beans just before serving so they don't overcook as well. We Add a Parmesan Rind: This adds a rich nutty flavor to the broth."
