Product recommendation
... Use a can of chopped tomatoes rather than fresh for a more intense tomato flavour – or omit entirely for a fresher-flavoured soup.
... Use finely diced courgettes or green beans in season, adding them in with the pasta.
Preparation steps
1.
Heat the oil in a large pan and fry off the pancetta until the fat runs and it starts to turn golden.
2.
Add the vegetables in the order given, giving each one a good 5 minutes to cook without colouring, stirring regularly, before adding the next one.
3.
Pour in the stock and bring to a gently simmer, then cook very gently for about an hour.
4.
Add the greens and the pasta and cook for a further 30 minutes. Adjust the seasoning.
5.
Serve hot, warm or even room temperature sprinkled with Parmesan and drizzled with olive oil.
