Ingredients:

Serving

1 cup dried cannellini beans
1 cup dried garbanzo beans
1 cup brown beans
1 cup lentils ( red are best)
1 small ham bone , with a small amount ham
1 (28 oz) can tomatoes , wedges
1 cup chopped onion (1 large)
1/2 cup chopped celery
1 medium carrot, chopped
5 garlic cloves, chopped
1 tbsp snipped fresh basil
1 tsp fresh thyme
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried rosemary
2 bay leaves
penne pasta
salt & freshly ground black pepper
2 cups baby spinach leaves
1/2 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese

Directions:

Wash and rinse beans, add ham bone and cover with water.
Cook until almost done, several hours, then add reminder of ingredients except spinach and Parmesan.
When the soup is done add the spinach leaves, they will cook almost immediately, and keep their pretty green color.
Be sure you have extra liquid before adding the pasta. Cook until just the al dente stage, as you don't want your pasta to be mushy. You can cook the pasta separately if desired. When you serve the Minestrone, sprinkle one heaping tablespoon of Parmesan cheese on top of each bowl.
