Instructions
Set a Dutch oven or large, wide saucepot over medium-high heat.
Add the sopressata and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, just to brown slightly and to render some fat.
Add the onions and drop the heat to medium. Sweat the onions with the soppressata for 5 minutes.
Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and sweat an additional 1 to 2 minutes.
Stir in the tomatoes, stock, oregano, basil and beans. Bring to a low simmer and cover. Simmer for 30 minutes.
Add the pasta, cover and cook for about 5 minutes or until the pasta is tender. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Ladle the pasta fagioli into warm bowls, top with Parmigiano-Reggiano and serve with bread for sopping up the leftover sauce.
