Pasta and Beans

Vegetables

Method

Preparation of Beans

  1. 1

    Soak the Beans

    Rinse the dried cannellini beans under cold water. Place them in a large bowl, cover with water, and let them soak overnight or for at least 8 hours.

  2. 2

    Cook the Beans

    After soaking, drain and rinse the beans again. In a large pot, add the beans and cover with fresh water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 1 to 1.5 hours or until tender. Drain and set aside.

Cooking the Soup

  1. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

  2. 4

    Add Garlic and Tomatoes

    Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant. Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

  3. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Pour in the vegetable broth, then add the cooked cannellini beans, pasta, parsley, salt, black pepper, and bay leaf. Stir to combine all ingredients.

  4. 6

    Simmer the Soup

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for about 10-15 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente.

  5. 7

    Adjust Seasoning

    Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Remove the bay leaf before serving.
