Miss Lynn,

I have never made Pasta e Fa.gioli but it looks good!

I've Googled recipes, and found so many that I can't decide which one to try first. Some are damn near tomato soup with a few beans and a little pasta, others are more like a solid pasta dish with some beans mixed in, and not really enough liquid left to call a soup.

Do you have a favorite recipe you could post?

I have a slow-cooker which I suspect might be good for this -- at least I like the way that kidney beans in other soups become nice and creamy with long slow cooking.
