  1. Veggie, VEGGIE NICE!

    Place the pot over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and knob of butter (optional). Add the Onion wedges and fry for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent, shifting occasionally. Add the Carrot rounds and the baby marrow chunks and fry for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened, shifting occasionally. Add the grated garlic, the tomato paste, and the rub. Fry for 1 minute until fragrant, shifting constantly.

  2. SOUPER, KEEP GOING!

    Add the cooked chopped Tomato, 400ml of water, and the pasta to the pot of veg. Reduce the heat and leave to simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. On completion, the veg and pasta should be cooked through. Season to taste. A minestrone is traditionally a very thin soup, so don’t worry if it’s very thin!
