It there isn't a more traditional Italian dish than pasta e fagioli. It's what Italo Americans love to call pasta e fazuul. It's a very filling and simple dish that warms the stomach and the heart when days get colder. I like to add a small potato diced very small to create a thicker broth. The beans are usually red kidney beans, but white beans or cannellini can also be used. When using dry beans soak them overnight in plenty of water. If using canned beans be sure to rinse them in order to remove any additives. Enjoy.
