Method

  1. Heat the oil in a pot and cook the onion for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and seasoning for 1 minute.
  2. Add the tomatoes, beans and broth and bring to a boil.
  3. Stir in the pasta and simmer, stirring often, until tender, about 10 minutes. Add water if it gets too thick.

Storing leftovers: The pasta absorbs liquid as it sits; add a splash of water when reheating. Eat within 3 to 4 days.
