Steps:
- Drain the beans and bring to the boil in a pan of salted water. Cook for 10 mins, drain, rinse and put in a slow cooker with the onions, carrots and celery.
- Stir in the olive oil, garlic, stock, tomatoes, half a can of water and the miso. Tie the herbs together with kitchen string and add these as well. Season. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hrs, until the beans are cooked through and all of the veg is really tender.
- Remove and discard the herbs and stir in the pasta. Cover and cook on high for another 30 mins. Add the cavolo nero stalks and leaves and cook for a final 30-40 mins, or until the pasta is cooked through and the greens are tender. Serve scattered with the cheese and drizzled with a little more olive oil, if you like.

Steps:
- Set a large soup pot over medium-low heat. Add olive oil. When hot, add the onion. Saute until soft, about 8 minutes. Add garlic, rosemary, and smoked paprika. Saute, stirring constantly, for one more minute.
- Add TWO cans of beans to the pot, liquid included.
- Using an immersion blender, puree the mixture right in the pot (you can also puree in a blender and return the mixture to the pot).
- Drain the remaining can of beans and add to the pot, along with the broth, tomatoes, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Increase heat to medium-high and bring to a gentle boil.
- Once boiling, add the pasta. Cook until al dente (the exact time depends on package directions - usually about 8 minutes).
- Taste, adding more salt and pepper if necessary.
- Ladle into bowls and top with a drizzle of olive oil, parmesan (for the non-vegans) or vegan parmesan if using, and a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes if desired. Don't forget the crusty bread served alongside!
Tips:
- Use a variety of beans. This will give your pasta e fagioli a more complex flavor and texture. Great options include kidney beans, cannellini beans, and chickpeas.
- Don't skimp on the vegetables. Vegetables add flavor, nutrition, and color to your pasta e fagioli. Use a variety of vegetables, such as carrots, celery, onions, and garlic.
- Use a good quality pasta. The pasta is the star of the show in pasta e fagioli, so it's important to use a good quality pasta. Look for a pasta that is made with durum wheat and that has a nice al dente texture.
- Season the soup well. Pasta e fagioli should be flavorful, so don't be afraid to season it well. Use a variety of spices, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Let the soup simmer. Simmering allows the flavors to meld together and develop. Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes, or longer if you have time.
