Add the onion, carrot, and celery, then saut\u00e9 for approximately 5-7 minutes until softened.<\/li>\n<li>Stir in the minced garlic and continue to cook for another minute, being careful not to burn it.<\/li>\n<li>Pour in the tinned plum tomatoes (crushing them slightly with a spoon) or passata. Stir well and allow to cook for 5 minutes, letting the flavours meld together.<\/li>\n<li>Add the hot vegetable stock and the rinsed cannellini beans. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer gently for about 5 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Stir in the small pasta shapes and cook according to the package instructions (typically 8-10 minutes), stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. The pasta will absorb some of the broth, creating a thicker consistency.<\/li>\n<li>Once the pasta is al dente, taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.<\/li>\n<li>Serve immediately, garnished with fresh chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2>Serving &amp; Leftovers<\/h2>\n<p>Serve the Pasta e Fagioli hot, perhaps with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a sprinkle of pepper. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. It tends to thicken, so you may need to add a little vegetable stock or water when reheating.<\/p>\n<h2>Nutrition<\/h2>\n<p>Nutritional values are estimates and may vary depending on ingredients and portions.<\/p>\n<h2>One Last Thing<\/h2>\n<p>Mastering the art of creating satisfying meals in minimal time truly transforms busy evenings.
