Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 onion finely diced
- 4 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 2 ribs celery finely diced
- 2 cups butternut squash diced
- 1 potato diced
- 4 tablespoons rosemary chopped (separated into 2 tablespoon measurements, fresh
- 4 tablespoons parsley chopped (separated into 2 tablespoons measurements, fresh
- 8-10 cups chicken stock or vegetable broth, or broth
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1-2 Parmesan Cheese optional, rinds
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 zucchini sliced and quartered
- 1 cup green beans sliced into 1-inch long pieces
- 15 oz. pinto beans or cannellini, or great northern beans, drained and rinsed, canned
- 8 oz. whole wheat pasta such as orecchiette or ditalini, small
- Parmesan Cheese optional, grated, for serving
Instructions
- Saute onions, celery, butternut squash, potato, and two tablespoons each of rosemary and parsley in olive oil until softened in a large pot, about 5 minutes.
- Add garlic and tomato paste; stir to coat and saute for about one more minute.
- Cover with vegetable broth, season with salt and pepper, and add optional parmesan cheese rind; bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for 30-40 minutes.
- Remove parmesan cheese rind, if applicable.
- Add pasta, canned beans, zucchini, and green beans, and remaining herbs; stir and simmer for another 10-15 minutes, or until pasta is cooked.
- Serve with extra salt and pepper, and parmesan cheese on top if you want!
Notes
- Slow cooker directions: Add all ingredients except for pasta, canned beans, zucchini, green beans, and half the herbs to a slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours. During the last half hour of cooking, remove cheese rind (if applicable) and add remaining ingredients.
- Traditional parmesan cheese may not be suitable for a strict vegetarian diet because it contains animal rennet. Look for a suitable vegetarian substitute, such as a parmesan made with plant rennet.
