Time 1h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 onion, diced
2 -3 cloves garlic, finely chopped (I like lots of garlic, so please suit it to your taste)
1 stalk celery, diced
1 carrot, peeled and diced
1 tablespoon dried basil
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
3 -5 dashes dried rosemary
1 dash red pepper flakes (I like more-1 tsp.)
1 1/2 cups chopped whole tomatoes, with juices (I've use canned or fresh depending on time of year)
3 cups vegetable stock or 3 cups vegetable broth
1 can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup tiny pasta (I like ditalini, but any pastene works fine)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (or dried) (optional)
freshly grated parmesan cheese
salt & fresh ground pepper

Steps:

  • In a large heavy pot, heat olive oil over medium high heat.
  • Stir in onion with a pinch of salt and pepper, and cook for 2 minutes.
  • Add dried herbs and red pepper flakes into the oil and toss to coat to bring out some of the dried herbs' flavors.
  • Stir in garlic, and then celery, and carrots and cook for about 3 minutes.
  • Stir in tomatoes and stock and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
  • If necessary add an additional cup of stock or water and stir in beans and tiny pasta.
  • Simmer for 6-8 minutes or until pasta is tender.
  • Stir in parsley and serve hot with grated parmesan and freshly ground black pepper.
