Olive Garden Pasta e Fagioli is a hearty Italian soup loaded with ground beef, beans, veggies, and ditalini pasta in a rich tomato broth seasoned with Italian herbs. You brown beef, sauté the classic soffritto of onion, carrot, and celery, simmer everything with beans and tomatoes, then finish with pasta for a cozy, restaurant‑style bowl at home.
