Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 cup peas 150 grams, fresh or frozen
- 1 cup borlotti beans 150 grams, frozen or fresh, see also dried beans
- 1/2 head broccoli break into florets, cut in half if large
- 1 large potato cubed
- 1-2 medium carrot sliced
- 1 small celery stalk, sliced or diced
- 1 medium zucchini chopped
- 1 bunch spinach baby, if desired
- 3/4 teaspoon basil
- 3/4 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2-1 teaspoon salt or to taste
- 1-2 dashes hot pepper flakes or black pepper if desired
- 1 cup tomato puree (200 grams)
- 3-4 cups water 945 grams
- 1 cup small pasta dried
*sometimes I leave out the beans, so add if you wish.
Instructions
- Chop the vegetables into small to medium chunks.
- In a large pot add the olive oil, minced garlic, vegetables, tomato puree, water (enough to cover the vegetables) and spices. Stir to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer (very low boil) for 20-25 minutes or until vegetables are almost tender (not mushy), stirring occasionally. The last 5 minutes, boil 2-3 cups of water in a medium pot. To the large pot add the boiled water (1/2 the amount or all depending on how thick you like it and be sure to taste for salt, add if needed) and 1 cup of small uncooked pasta.
- Cook on a low boil, uncovered, stirring often until the pasta is al dente. Top with freshly grated parmesan cheese if desired and serve immediately. Enjoy!
