Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 Tbsp olive oil or extra virgin olive oil, plus more to drizzle
3 garlic cloves, minced
½ tsp paprika
¼ or ⅛ tsp chili flakes*
1 can (15 oz) cannellini beans, or Great Northern beans
⅛ tsp freshly ground black pepper
2 ½ cups (600 ml) water or low sodium vegetable broth*
½ tsp fine salt, or according to taste
8 oz (220 grams) short pasta shapes (fusilli, penne, bow ties...)
4 oz (120 grams) baby spinach, washed
4 oz (120 grams) cherry tomatoes, cut into halves
2 oz (60 grams) freshly grated parmesan, plus more to serve

Steps:

  • Warm the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant and smells good, about 45 seconds.
  • Add paprika, chili flakes, beans, black pepper, and give a good stir.
  • Add hot water or low sodium vegetable broth, salt, turn to high heat and bring to the boil.
  • Stir in pasta, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover with a lid and cook stirring frequently. The amount of liquid is enough to partially cover the pasta (but keep an eye on it to make sure the pasta doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot, and add a touch of water if needed).
  • In the last 2 minutes of the pasta's cooking time, add fresh spinach, a handful at a time, and cherry tomatoes. Stir until the spinach is wilted, it takes a couple of minutes.
  • Turn off the heat, finish the dish with freshly grated parmesan, and give a good stir until the cheese melts and the pasta looks well combined (taste and adjust the season according to your taste if needed).
  • Serve immediately with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, more freshly ground black pepper and parmesan cheese if you like. Enjoy!

PASTA AND BEAN SOUP



Pasta and Bean Soup image

The chef Tom Valenti channels his late grandmother in his cooking, utilizing her ''stove top approach to life'' by braising and stewing and slow cooking the kinds of food that snowstorms were made for. Her pasta and bean soup, a treat for carb-lovers with its addition of mashed potatoes to thicken the broth, was one of many old-country comfort foods that she fed Mr. Valenti during his childhood.

Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided, plus more for drizzling
⅔ cup breadcrumbs (fresh, dried, or panko)
4 garlic cloves, finely grated, divided
1½ tsp. kosher salt, divided, plus more
½ cup coarsely chopped parsley
1 lb. ziti, rigatoni, cavatelli, or other medium tube pasta
1 medium onion, finely chopped
4 whole roasted red peppers from a jar (about one 16-oz. jar), finely chopped
2 Tbsp. tomato paste
1 (15-oz.) can white beans (such as navy or cannellini), rinsed
2 tsp. finely grated lemon zest
1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
¼ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
Freshly ground black pepper
Lemon wedges (for serving; optional)

Steps:

  • Heat 3 Tbsp. oil in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium-high. Add breadcrumbs, half of the garlic, and ½ tsp. salt and cook, stirring constantly to incorporate the garlic, until golden brown and crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in parsley. Wipe out and reserve pot.
  • Meanwhile, cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, according to package directions. Drain, reserving 2 cups pasta cooking liquid.
  • Heat 3 Tbsp. oil in reserved pot over medium-high. Cook onion, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until slightly softened, 6-8 minutes. Add roasted red peppers, remaining garlic, and 1 tsp. salt. Cook, stirring often, until any liquid is evaporated and vegetables are combined and glossy looking, about 5 minutes. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are coated and paste is slightly darkened in color, about 5 minutes.
  • Add beans, lemon zest, lemon juice, and red pepper flakes to pot; season with black pepper. Cook, smashing beans and stirring to combine with spoon, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and gradually add reserved pasta cooking liquid (you might not need all of it), stirring and mashing as you go, until combined and sauce is thick. Remove from heat and immediately add pasta; toss to coat.
  • Divide pasta among bowls; drizzle with a little oil and spoon breadcrumbs on top. Squeeze some lemon juice over if desired.

Tips:

  • Use Canned Beans: Canned beans are a convenient and affordable option for this soup. Simply rinse and drain them before using.
  • Roast the Peppers: Roasting the peppers brings out their sweetness and smoky flavor. If you don't have time to roast them, you can use jarred roasted peppers.
  • Use a Variety of Vegetables: Feel free to add other vegetables to this soup, such as carrots, celery, or zucchini.
  • Make it Spicy: If you like spicy food, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a chopped jalapeño pepper to the soup.
  • Serve with a Side of Bread: This soup is delicious served with a side of crusty bread or crackers.

This white bean, pasta, and roasted pepper soup is a hearty, flavorful, and easy-to-make meal. It's perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or a cozy weekend lunch. With its creamy texture and smoky pepper flavor, this soup is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
