Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion chopped (about 1 cup)
  • 2 carrots diced (1 cup)
  • 2 celery stalks diced (1 cup)
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 15 oz can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup small pasta ditalini or elbow
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 2 cups chopped fresh spinach or kale
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Sauté onion, carrots, and celery in olive oil until soft, about 5 minutes. I do this in a pan to boost flavor, but you can skip it.
  2. Transfer veggies to the crockpot. Add garlic, tomatoes, broth, beans, oregano, and basil. Stir.
  3. Cook on low for 4 hours or high for 2 hours.
  4. Add pasta and spinach. Cook on high 15–20 minutes until pasta is tender.
  5. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with grated Parmesan if you like.
