One of my favorite Weight Watchers recipes. A regular around my house!

Pasta E Fagioli
1 lb ground round
1 cup chopped onion
¾ cup chopped celery
¾ cup chopped carrot
2 garlic cloves, minced
28 oz can fire-roasted crushed tomatoes, undrained
28 oz fat-free, less-sodium beef broth
16 oz can red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
15 oz can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
1½ tsp dried Italian seasoning
½ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp crushed red pepper
¾ cup uncooked ditalini (very short tubed-shaped macaroni)
2 tbsp grated fresh parmesan cheese

1) Cook beef and next 4 ingredients in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat until beef is browned, stirring to crumble. Drain well and return to pan.
2) Add tomatoes and next 7 ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, 15 minutes. Add ditalini; cook 15 minutes or until pasta is done. Ladle soup into individual bowls; sprinkle with cheese.

Yield: 6 servings (serving size 1½ cups)

For an even healthier version, use ground turkey and chicken broth instead of beef. We make this all the time, although we double the amount of veggies used and add thyme and basil. YUM!!
