Pasta Fagioli Recipe

In large stockpot heat olive oil over medium heat until warm. Add garlic and pepperoni and saute about 2 or 3 minutes until pepperoni begins to color oil. Add tomatoes and simmer about 10 minutes. Add chicken broth and water and bring to a boil. Add beans and cook about ten minutes.
In a separate pan cook pasta until al dente (firm to the bite). Drain and add to bean mixture. Heat through.
