Adapted from the Rancho Gordo Vegetarian Cookbook. This recipe is heavy on the pasta and light on broth. If you want to have a more “soupy” dish, definitely add more broth. The cheese on top, while optional, makes it shine!

Instructions

Step 1

In a saucepan, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, carrot, and garlic; cook until the vegetables are soft and the on ion is just turning golden, about 5 minutes. Add the red pepper flakes, tomato paste, and mushroom powder. Cook until the paste is warmed and tomato and mushroom aromas fill the room, about 3 minutes.

Step 2

Add 4 cups of the bean broth-if you don't have 4 cups, make up the difference with water or vegetable broth-and rosemary; add salt and pepper to taste. Continue cooking at a gentle simmer until the liquid has reduced a bit, about 15 minutes (longer if you want a less soupy dish)

Step 3

Cook the pasta according to package directions; drain.

Step 4

Add the drained pasta and cooked beans to the vegetable mixture; mix well. Gently simmer for a few minutes to let the flavors mingle.

Step 5

Serve immediately with a splash of peppery extra-virgin olive oil. Pass a bowl of grated pecorino or Parmesan cheese for guests to help themselves.
