I am Italo-Americano and I speak Italian, and I, and everyone in Italy that I've met from the North to the South says Pasta Fagioli. The only people I've met that say "Fazool" are American.

Never had it with meat, nonna and mom never used tomato either! But it looks good

Made it! Subbed pancetta for the bacon and put some better than bullion chicken base in there too. Good stuff

You are so healthy and beautiful looking. Love from New Zealand .

Looks awesome

That is one of my favorite soups. Yummm

Omg Looks so good Perfect job !!

You make great recipes!! And you are so adorable!! I really do enjoy your channel 🙂😊😊😊😊😊😊

Awesome!!!

Girl knows how to cook old school! 😉

San Marzano is sweet & delicious.

You're so Pretty 🤩

That looks good

Omg that looks delicious

Fantastic

One of the best soups ever

Love this woman.

My ex boyfriend of 10 years is Italian from the Bx. I’m a Mets fan fyi lol. I got invited to every single holiday and got gifts. But the food and love is what I still remember. So I’m making this recipe in honor of his family. Not him, lol. I’m Colombian so we are the same. Just different food. That’s why I’m reminiscing watching your channel. And my name is Melissa too ☺️

This is my favorite ❤ yum

Yum! ❤

Do not use bacon. Use Pancetta. If you HAVE to use bacon, make sure it's not smoked or it will taste absolutely nothing like Pasta e Fagioli. It will taste like smokey vegetable soup.

It looks good, but you look yummier.

I loved

Omg, you are my mother reincarnated……. 😂😂😂

If you're not going to eat all of this right away. I recommend cooking the noodles separately!!

Mute button, please

personally, like my pasta cooked a little more than al dente... hate picking things out of my teeth...lol but that looks excellent!

Yummy

Andiamo!

Looks so good ❤😊

You are so very welcome keep up the good work would love to have some of your cooking you go girl

San Marzano tomatoes are worth the added expense.

She’s real pretty

Who's the lady behind her helping her, she has some help😊

Is it Moroccan?

With respect. Everything looks good. Every Italian dish uses the same ingredients with different pasta. It looks like all the dishes taste the same.

It's cringe everytime I hear it mispronounced. And also those are not authentic San Marzano tomatoes. Genuine San Marzano tomatoes say D.O.P. on the label. And Marzano is pronounced Mar-tzah-noh.

Not traditional

there are a million ways to make it because it basically was something put together using whatever they had. every family has their own way.

Heart burn , upset stomach, and 💩. You should have went with Hunts tomato sauce.

Very bland recipe. I’m guessing there are better options available. Easy but very bland, no flavor.

Ur awesome Chef Bae 😘 are uuu married ❤️🤞🏾😈 @melissajorealrecipes
