Steps

1Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion, carrots, and celery; cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

2Stir in minced garlic and tomato paste, cooking for another minute until fragrant.

3Add canned tomatoes (break them up as you go), vegetable broth, oregano, basil, bay leaf, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer.

4Let the soup simmer for 10 minutes so flavors meld.

5Add diced zucchini, green beans, and drained cannellini beans. Simmer for another 10 minutes until the vegetables are nearly tender.

6Stir in the pasta and cook for 8–10 minutes until it's al dente.

7In the last minute, stir in chopped spinach until wilted.

8Taste and adjust seasoning. Remove bay leaf before serving.

9Ladle into bowls and drizzle with good olive oil if you like. Serve with crusty bread.
