Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 oz pancetta diced
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 large carrot diced
  • 1 celery stalk diced
  • 1 can 15 oz cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can 15 oz chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can 28 oz crushed Italian tomatoes
  • 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup ditalini pasta
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
  • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese for garnish

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Add a splash of broth when reheating, as the pasta may absorb some liquid.
  • Substitutions: Use smoked bacon in place of pancetta for a different flavor. For a vegetarian version, omit pancetta and use vegetable broth.
