Base Ingredients

Method

Preparation

1

Sauté the Pancetta

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook until it becomes crispy, about 5-7 minutes.

2

Add Aromatics

Add the chopped onion, diced carrots, and diced celery to the pot. Sauté for an additional 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

3

Incorporate Garlic

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.

4

Add Tomatoes and Broth

Pour in the canned diced tomatoes and vegetable broth. Stir to combine.

5

Add Cannellini Beans

Stir in the drained and rinsed cannellini beans, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

6

Cook the Pasta

Once simmering, add the tubettini pasta to the pot. Cook according to package instructions, usually about 8-10 minutes, until al dente.

7

Final Seasoning

Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper as desired. Remove the bay leaves.

8

Serve

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
