Pasta Fazool (Classic Pasta e Fagioli)

1. 1

   Gather the ingredients.

2. 2

   Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir sausage in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Add diced celery and chopped onion. Cook until the onions are translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Add dry pasta; cook and stir for 2 minutes.

3. 3

   Stir in tomato paste until evenly mixed, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in 3 cups broth; raise heat to high and bring to a boil. Stir in red pepper flakes, oregano, salt, and pepper. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring often, for about 5 minutes. Add more broth if needed.

4. 4

   Place chopped chard in a bowl. Cover with cold water and rinse the leaves so any grit settles at the bottom. Transfer the chard to a colander to drain briefly; add to the soup. Cook and stir until the leaves wilt, 2 to 3 minutes.

5. 5

   Stir in white beans; continue cooking and stirring until the pasta is tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in grated cheese. Serve topped with more grated cheese.
