- 1 large carrot diced
- 1 celery stalk diced
- 1 can 15 oz cannellini beans, drained and rinsed

- 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.
