Description
I found this on an italian website and fell in love with it! I am a fan of pasta e fagioli and this is kind of similar, yet different. It makes a hearty soup; and last time i made it i wanted a thinner broth, so i added three 14.5 ounce cans of chicken broth and used davinci gnocchi noodles instead of lasagna noodles. The fresh mozzarella is a must — don't substitute shredded! You will fall in love!
