Preparation / Directions:
Sauté‚garlic and onion till soft. Add beans (entire can) and tomatoes and 3 ca ns of water. When hot, add Italian Seasoning. Bring to a boil, then cook till sp ices are well-blended. Add pasta, carrots and celery and cook till pasta is ready - - about ten minutes. Carrots should be slightly crunchy. Adjust seasonings if desired. This makes a thick stew. If you like it wetter, use more water.
I expect you could lower the fat by reducing the amount of beans. This is an adaptation of a recipe calling for sausage and other meat. You can add non-fat Parmesan cheese at the table if you want.
Serves 8 or 9.
