1 cup small macaroni pasta |
3 chicken stock cubes, any flavour you want |
5 cups water |
1 (400 g) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed |
1 teaspoon dried oregano |
fresh ground pepper |
Directions:
1. Heat olive oil in a large saucepan.
2. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.
3. Add the carrots and celery, stir and cook for 5 minutes.
4. Add tomato paste, water, stock cubes, pasta, beans, oregano and pepper.
5. Cover and cook over a low heat, stirring occasionally for 30-40 minutes.
6. Serve in bowls with parmesan cheese for sprinkling.
