Ingredients

Units Scale

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 carrot, diced
  • 1 celery stalk, diced
  • 1 can (14oz/400g) diced tomatoes
  • 4 cups (1 liter) vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (or a mix of basil, oregano, and thyme)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup (90g) small pasta (like ditalini, macaroni, or orzo)
  • 1 cup (150g) cooked beans (cannellini, chickpeas, or kidney beans)
  • 1 cup (30g) fresh spinach or kale (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice (for brightness)
  • Fresh parsley or parmesan cheese (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Sauté the vegetables: Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, carrot, and celery. Cook for about 5 minutes, until softened.
  2. Add broth and seasonings: Stir in diced tomatoes, broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
  3. Cook the pasta: Add the pasta and beans to the pot. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 8–10 minutes, until the pasta is tender.
  4. Add greens (if using): Stir in spinach or kale and cook for another minute.
  5. Finish & serve: Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Garnish with fresh parsley or parmesan cheese. Serve hot!

Notes

  • Use whole wheat or gluten-free pasta if needed.
  • Add cooked chicken or sausage for extra protein.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days (the pasta may absorb liquid, so add extra broth when reheating).
