Pasta Fagioli

Now that the weather is starting to get a bit cooler my family and I want warm soup or other comfort foods for dinner. I am always game to try something new so we don’t get stuck in that dinner rut. So when I saw this recipe over at Skinny Taste I knew we would have to give it a try. The family loved it and my husband ate on it for a few days since he was carbo loading before his marathon.
