     Title: Slow Cooker Pasta E Fagioli
Categories: Beans, Vegetabes, Pasdta, Cheese, Herbs
     Yield: 7 servings

     8 oz Dried white or cranberry
          - beans; soaked overnight,
          - drained
    10 cl Garlic; smashed, chopped
     2 lg Carrots; peeled, halved
          - lengthwise if thick,
          - sliced
     2    Celery ribs; sliced
     1    Parmesan rind; opt (see
          - Tip)
     1 lg Sprig fresh rosemary
          +=OR=+
     1 ts Dried rosemary
     5 c  Chicken broth
     1 ts Dried oregano
     1 ts Garlic powder
     1 ts Onion powder
    15 oz Can tomato sauce
     8 oz Ditalini pasta
     1 tb Tomato paste
     8 oz Green beans; in 1/2" lengths
          - opt
          Salt & black pepper
          Grated Parmesan; for topping
          - opt

 In a 6 to 8 quart slow cooker, combine the soaked beans,
 garlic, carrots, celery, Parmesan rind, rosemary, broth,
 oregano, and garlic and onion powders. Cook on low until
 the beans are very tender, 6 to 7 hours.

 Increase the heat to high. Whisk in the tomato sauce,
 ditalini, tomato paste, and green beans, if using.
 Season with 2 teaspoons salt and several generous grinds
 of black pepper. Cover and cook until the pasta and
 green beans are just tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove
 and discard the rosemary stem and Parmesan rind. Taste
 and add more salt and pepper, if you like. Serve with
 grated Parmesan on top, if desired.

 TIP: Many stores that sell grated Parmesan also sell
 Parmesan rinds, which are an affordable way to infuse
 rich flavor into any soup. Ask at the cheese counter of
 any well-stocked grocery store. The rinds can be kept in
 the freezer indefinitely and there’s no need to defrost
 them before using.
