Recipe Summary Green Minestrone
This is the classic and authentic Italian minestrone with a green twist. No tomatoes here! You may brown some pancetta or bacon in olive oil before proceeding with the recipe if you wish. I prefer to use a good quality vegetable bouillon to vegetable broth. The taste is more authentic and you simply need to skip the salt.Ingredients | Emerald Green Nails Design2 tablespoons olive oil1 white onion, chopped2 cloves garlic, pressed1 ½ cups frozen cut green beans1 cup frozen peas2 large zucchini, chopped10 cups vegetable broth½ teaspoon minced fresh rosemary2 cups cooked great Northern beans¾ cup ditalini pasta½ cup minced fresh parsley½ cup grated Parmesan cheesesalt and freshly ground black pepper to taste1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, or as neededDirectionsHeat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat; cook and stir onion and garlic until onion is translucent, about 10 minutes.
