Growing up to save money, my dad would make pasta Fagioli a lot!  While I joke about it, it’s a good dish, fairly healthy and cost-effective!

 

 

Right now you can get a package of Romano Beans at Walmart for $2.99 and a big package of pasta for $1.27.  A jar of strained Tomatoes is $1.97.  The entire dish is under $10 and can feed a family of four a meal or two.
