If your goal this year is to include more plant based meals into your repertoire…..well, make sure to save this! Pasta Fagioli!! I have been hearing little whispers tell me to include more plant based meals and this one did not disappoint!
A classic comfort dish with so much flavour, I know you and your families are going to love it!
Ingredients:
•2 Tbsp Olive Oil
•1 shallot, minced
•2 carrots, finely diced
•2 celery ribs (stalks), finely diced
•1 Cup vegetable broth
•1 Cup tomato sauce
• 2 can mixed beans (I used the 6 bean medley)
•small piece of Parmesan’s cheese rind
• 1 cup of your favourite small pasta (I used the small shells), cooked separately and added once al dente
Directions:
1. Add the olive oil to a low saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallot, carrots, celery and sauté for 5-7 minutes.
2. Add the broth, and tomatoes sauce and bring to a boil.
3. Once at a boil, lower heat to simmer and add the beans. Simmer for up to 15 minutes. Add in the Parmesan cheese rind here too.
4. Meanwhile, cook the pasta separately in a pot of salted boiling water. Once cooked al dente, quickly drain and add to the bean mixture.
5. Simmer on low for at least 3-5 minutes to allow the flavours to immerse into the pasta.
6. Serve hot and top with freshly grated Parmesan cheese if you’d like! And some crispy bread!
