Name of Recipe: Pasta & Bean Soup
Number of People: 4-5
Ingredients:1 clove of garlic (I used a large one. If you like garlic I'd recommend it)
1-2 sprigs of rosemary (leaves only)
30g pancetta (I didn't use)
40g extra virgin olive oil
2 cans of borlotti beans (1 can = 400g gross weight) or 450g boiled beans
100g tomato puree
1000g water
1 tbsp Thermomix vegetable or meat stock concentrate
200g Ditaloni
Black Pepper
Salt (if needed)
Grated parmesan
Extra virgin olive oil
Preparation: * Put garlic, pancetta and rosemary in TM Bowl. Chop for 5 seconds on Speed 7. Repeat it if needed
* Clean down the sides of TM Bowl, add oil and saute for 3 minutes at 100ºC on Speed 1
* Drain the beans (I also washed them). Net weight for 1 can beans will come around 220-240g
* Add 1 can of drained beans and tomato puree. Mix for 5 seconds on Speed 5
* Add water and TM stock concentrate. Cook for 20 minutes at 100ºC on Speed 1
* Add pasta. Adjust salt and pepper. Cook at 100ºC on Reverse / Speed 1 for the cooking time indicated on the pasta packet. When there are 5 minutes left, add the 2nd can of drained beans and continue to cook.
* Let it rest in TM Bowl for 5 minutes before you serve into the bowls
* If you like, you can dress with a little olive oil and sprinkle with grated parmesan
Buon Appetito
