Pasta e fagioli — literally "pasta and beans" — is a heartwarming Italian soup, perfect for a chilly night.

There are countless recipes but this one, given to me by my dear friend Tracy Santoro and adapted from Chef Joe Cicala's recipe in The Washington Post, is the best I've tried.

The base of the soup is made with pancetta, vegetables and white wine, which add tremendous depth.

What's The Best Sausage For Pasta Fagioli?

For this pasta fagioli, I recommend a spicy Italian sausage.

Don't worry about it being too spicy, it's not overly so — just providing a good, steady flavor throughout the soup.

If you've had pasta fagioli before, it's likely been made with spicy sausage.

In a saucepan, saute onion and garlic in butter and oil.
