INSTRUCTIONS
1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add the onion, garlic, carrot, celery
and leek and cook gently for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the ham
and cook for 5 minutes more. 2. Stir in the beans, stock and pasta spirals.
Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat, cover and simmer gently for 20
minutes. 3. Add the tomatoes, oregano and marjoram and simmer gently for 5
minutes more. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 4. Serve, piping hot,
in warm soup bowls. Preparation time: 15 minutes Cooking time: 35 minutes
Freezing recommended Pasta and Beans (pasta e fagioli) is a typical Italian
combination. This hearty winter-warmer is a meal in itself. Substitute the
cannellini beans with borlotti or haricot beans for a change.
