An easy dinner for 3-4 people with this microwave Pasta Fagioli Soup. Dinner’s ready in about 5 minutes!
This soup makes a great appetizer before a meal or as a quick and easy meal itself. I love serving it with a crusty bread and simple salad.
Table of Contents
Ingredients to make Microwave Pasta Fagioli Soup
- 8.5 oz package of precooked 60-second pasta (Barilla, etc.)
- 1 can diced or sliced carrots, drained
- 1 can white beans, drained
- 1/2 cup spaghetti sauce
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 3 tablespoons bacon bits
How to make Pasta Fagioli in the microwave
Heat the 60-second pasta according to instructions.
If you don’t want to use the pre-cooked pasta, you can make your own. I’d recommend elbow, rotini, penne, or farfalle, even the mini versions will work. Use 1/2 cup of dry pasta and cook it on the stove or in the microwave.
In a microwave-safe large bowl combine the pasta, carrots, chicken broth, Italian seasoning and mix it up.
Cook for 2 minutes.
Drain the beans and mash half of them.
Add the whole beans, mashed beans, spaghetti sauce, and bacon bits to the soup and mix it up.
Heat for 2 minutes.
Dish it up and sprinkle each bowl with freshly shredded Parmesan cheese.
