Cook the Pasta

1

a) Boil a full kettle. Pour the boiled water into a medium saucepan with 1/2 tsp salt and bring back to the boil.

c) Reserve some pasta water (see pantry for amount) in a jug.

Build the Flavour

2

a) While the pasta cooks, halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces.

b) Heat a drizzle of oil in a large saucepan on medium-high heat.

c) When hot, add the onion to the pan and stir-fry until softened, 4-5 mins.

d) Add the roasted spice and herb blend, passata, vegetable stock paste, reserved pasta water and sugar (see pantry for amount). Stir to combine.

Simmer your Soup

3

a) Stir the spinach into the soup a handful at a time until wilted.

b) Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the spinach is piping hot, 1-2 mins.

Cheese Please

4

a) Meanwhile, grate the cheese.

b) Drain and rinse the mixed beans in a sieve.

Minestrone Time

5

a) Stir the cooked macaroni, beans and pesto into the soup.
