Pasta e fagioli is a classic Italian soup that translates to pasta and beans. This version of the recipe is a quick recipe that uses the pantry and freezer, so there is no prep time at all.
Keep a few bags of frozen vegetables in the freezer when fresh vegetables are scarce or there is no time to chop or peel them. Both frozen and canned vegetables have flavor and nutritional value because they are often packaged when they are extra fresh.
