Vegetables

Broth and Seasoning

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until the vegetables are softened.

  2. 2

    Add Remaining Vegetables

    Stir in the diced zucchini, green beans, and tomatoes. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. 3

    Add Broth and Seasoning

    Pour in the vegetable broth and add the bay leaves, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.

  4. 4

    Cook Pasta

    Once boiling, add the small pasta to the pot. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 10-12 minutes or until the pasta is tender.

  5. 5

    Add Spinach

    During the last 2 minutes of cooking, stir in the chopped spinach and let it wilt.

  6. 6

    Finish and Serve

    Remove the pot from heat, discard the bay leaves, and serve hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh basil.
