I enjoy making Copy Cat recipes, whether they are true to the source or not. Since, we are kosher, I have not eaten these meals, in the restaurants they come from and this is the closest, I get to come to eating them. In this case, I did not have red kidney beans so that is a change in the recipe and I didn’t even see, there were carrots in the recipe, so this is a deviant copy cat recipe. Despite this, it is a delicious dish filled with a mixture of flavors that blend into a warm and cozy meal. Serve with a salad and you will be full.

I love soups like this. Hearty! I wonder how it would work out with my gluten free pasta.
Nice! I’ll keep this on file and use it when I need a quick easy supper. I’m also pinning it on my Pinterest boards.
I just love this dish and I am excited to get the recipe! Hope you are having a great week end and thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday.
Come Back Soon!

I love the Olive Garden, but we don’t have them on the UK, so it’s lovely to have this copy cat recipe. Your pasta e fagioli looks wonderful! Thank you for sharing it with the Gallery of Favorites.
Thanks for sharing this copycat recipe with the Gallery. I love Olive Garden, but had to give it up once I was diagnosed with celiac’s disease. Copycat recipes allow me to make a gluten-free version at home.
