Low-Fat Low Cal Crock Pot Pasta Fagioli image

I developed this to have a nice tasting, but fairly low fat/calorie pasta dinner. Not necessarily traditional, but very tasty. Use enough broth to make it as thick or thin as you like it.

Time 9h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb sweet Italian turkey sausage (bulk or removed from casings)
1 medium onion, diced small
1 cup dried great northern beans or 1 cup cranberry beans
3 large carrots, sliced 1/4 inch thick
2 cups small shell pasta (shells or ditalini)
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
3 -4 cups vegetable broth (I use fat free)
2 beef bouillon cubes (or vegetable)
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried parsley
freshly grated parmesan cheese (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Soak beans overnight.
  • In the morning (or do this step the night before) brown the turkey sausage and the diced onion.
  • Drain and rinse and put in the crock pot.
  • Add the broth, beans, carrot, herbs, salt& pepper and crushed tomatoes.
  • Cook on low for 9 hours.
  • Half hour before you think it is done, bring a pot of water to boil and cook the pasta to al dente.
  • Drain and rinse to cut down on the starch in your soup.
  • Stir the tomato paste into the crock pot and then fold in the pasta.
  • Cook for another 1/2 hour.
  • Serve in nice bowls with a topping of freshly grated Parmesan and maybe a sprig of basil.
  • ENJOY!
