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!
