Pasta Fagioli (Vegan)

The very first vegan dish I ever made was Pasta Fagioli, forwarded to me as encouragement. It has since been a staple recipe; a very hearty, satisfying dish.

20 slices of vegan pizza pepperoni sliced in half 1 medium onion, chopped
1 red or green pepper, chopped
2 clove of garlic, minced
2 Tbsp olive oil Sliced Mushrooms, Baby Bellas or White, 8 oz.
1 can great northern white or cannellini beans, drained
2 cups ditali or small bowtie whole wheat pasta
1 can pizza sauce
1 can tomato sauce
1 can diced tomatoes
16 oz vegetable broth
Salt, Pepper, Basil and Oregano to taste

In a large pot, sauté onions and garlic in olive oil until translucent. Add veggie pepperoni slices, pepper and mushrooms to onions and garlic, continue to sauté for five minutes.

Add beans, pizza sauce, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes and vegetable broth, mix thoroughly and bring to a simmer. Simmer 20 minutes.

Boil water and cook pasta. When pasta is cooked, drain and add to bean/pepperoni/tomato sauce mixture. Serve immediately. Add salt and pepper to taste.
