Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 cup ditalini pasta
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 zucchini, diced
  • 1 can of diced tomatoes (14 oz)
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 can of kidney beans, drained
  • Fresh basil and Parmesan for garnish

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the ditalini pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
  • Stir in the chopped spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes, until wilted. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another minute.
  • Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and red chili flakes, if using.
  • Toss the cooked ditalini pasta into the skillet, mixing well to coat the pasta in the creamy sauce. Use the reserved pasta water to adjust the sauce consistency if needed.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil leaves.
