Servings: 6

 

Ingredients:

12 thin asparagus spears, stems removed and cut into thirds

2 (15 ounce) cans of cannellini beans, drained and rinsed

1 (28 ounce) can of diced tomatoes

3 carrots, peeled and sliced

8 ounces of uncooked ditalini pasta

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 cup of frozen sweet peas

1/3 cup freshly grated romano cheese + more for topping

salt and pepper to taste

1 (6 ounce) bag of fresh spinach

1 sweet onion, diced

3 cups low-sodium vegetable stock

3 cups water

Equipment:

slow cooker

Cooking instruction summary:

Add diced onions, garlic, carrots, the whole can of diced tomatoes, cannellini beans, stock and water to your crockpot. Cook on low for 4-6 hours, stirring once or twice if you can. About 10-15 minutes before serving, add in asparagus (I like mine with some crunch, add it earlier if you want it softer), spinach, peas and pasta. Cook on low for another 10-15 minutes then stir in grated cheese. Taste and season with salt and pepper as desired. I used about a 1/2 teaspoon of each, but it will depend on the sodium levels in your stock, tomatoes, etc. Serve immediately with additional cheese on top!

Food Joke

Forget Something? Because their memories were getting so bad with old age, Sadie and Sam had to put things in writing to help them remember them. One night, Sam got up from watching the usual TV soap and said to Sadie, "I’m going to the kitchen for something to eat. Do you want anything while I`m there?" Sadie said, "Yes, Sam, some ice cream, please." Just as Sam set off she added, "And write it down." "Don’t worry, I can remember ice cream," said Sam. Then Sadie said, "I also want strawberries on my ice cream... Write it down." "No need, I can remember ice cream with strawberries," he replied. Sadie added, "But I also want whipped cream on top of the strawberries." Sam nodded, but left the room without writing anything down. When he returned, Sam was carrying a plate of cold roast beef with mustard. "Now see what you`ve done," she said, "You’ve forgotten the toast I asked for."
