Fi's Minestrone

I found this recipe on Fi's blog Mummy Daze and thought it looked so good and so easy that I'd give it a go! It's absolutely delicious!!




Not my image, as per usual!



Serves 4 - with enough for seconds and leftovers


Get This -

2 tablespoons oil
ham/bacon/salami
onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, crushed
3 tablespoons tomato paste
800g tinned tomatoes
2 teaspoons stock powder
4.5 cups cold water
2 medium potatoes, cubed
1 large carrot, diced
zucchini, sliced
1/2 broccoli, chopped finely
1/2 cup frozen peas
750g tin cannellini beans, rinsed and strained
1/2 cup macaroni/broken spaghetti pieces
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 cups fresh baby spinach (if you have some)
salt & pepper
fresh basil
serve with a dollop of pesto




Do This -

  1. Add diced bacon, onion, crushed garlic and oil to large pot. Cook over medium heat for 3 minutes or until onion is softened.
  2. Add tomato paste, tinned tomato, stock and water. Cover, and bring to the boil. Add potato and carrots. Cook, uncovered for 15 minutes, or until cooked through.
  3. When you are nearly ready to serve, add the beans, zucchini, broccoli, peas and pasta. Cook for 10-15 minutes or until pasta is just tender. Add sugar and vinegar and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix in baby spinach leaves just before serving.
  4. Ladle into bowls and dollop with pesto and basil. Serve with toasted bread or oven-baked rolls - whatever you have handy.

I served it with parmesan instead of pesto, and fresh basil.
