In case you haven't guessed, I love food. That's why I include a recipe section here for those who enjoy cooking and eating as much as I do. I call it my Frequent Eaters Club, a virtual cookbook of recipes submitted by you, my wonderful readers.  (And occasionally I pass along my own personal favorites.)

I'd love it if you'd
share your recipes with me and other readers. Each month I review the most recent recipe submissions and choose one as the month's best. The winner receives a slew of goodies, including my very own family cookbook titled Adler Food.

Indulge yourself!

Name: Patty Mierop
Recipe Name: Pasta Fagioli
Category: Soups

Ingredients:
6 to 8 garlic cloves
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 (28 oz.) can Italian style tomatoes (Tuttorosso)
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. crushed red pepper
1 can chick peas (may also use cannellini beans)
3 quarts water
1 lb. Ditalini pasta (Ronzoni)
Parmesan cheese, for topping

Preparation Instructions:
Sauté garlic in oil, add Italian style tomatoes; squeeze them to break them up, and add juice from tomato. Add oregano, crushed red pepper and chick peas (or beans). Cover and heat on low for 30 minutes. The longer the soup heats, the better the flavor. In another pot, bring 3 quarts of water to a boil, add pasta and cook till al dente. When pasta is done, add to tomato, peas and garlic mixture (including water). You can use 2 quarts of the water and add 1 quart of chicken broth if you like. I cook it both ways and it is delicious and a fast meal to prepare. Top your bowl with a little parmesan cheese.
