Pasta e fagoli

I love this stuff.  Everyone loves this stuff.  A little fore warning though...I halfed the recipe and we've been eatting it ALL week.   So, half it, and plan to take a pot of it to your neighbors (trust me, they'll like it)
The picture above is on day 3, so it's usually a bit juicier.  And it's really good with fresh parmesan cheese on it, but no dairy (boo)

3 teaspoons coconut or olive Oil
2 pounds Ground beef or turkey
12 ounces Onion; chopped
14 ounces Carrots; slivered
14 ounces Celery; diced
48 ounces Tomatoes; canned, diced
2 cups cooked Red Kidney beans
2 cups cooked White kidney beans, or garbanozo beans
88 ounces Beef stock
3 teaspoons Oregano
2 1/2 teaspoons Pepper
5 teaspoons Parsley; (fresh chopped)
1 1/2 teaspoons Tabasco sauce
48 ounces Marina Style Spaghetti sauce
8 ounces dry pasta Shell macaroni; or other pasta
If you're lazy like me, you can just throw everything in the crock pot, but it's better if you follow the directions below....Saute beef or turkey in oil in large 10-qt. pot until beef starts to brown. Add onions, carrots, celery and tomatoes and simmer for about 10 minutes. Drain and rinse beans and add to the pot. Also add beef stock, oregano, pepper, Tabasco, spaghetti sauce, and noodles. Add chopped parsley. Simmer until celery and carrots are tender, about 45 minutes. Makes 9 qts. of soup!
