Method

  1. Step 1

    Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the pancetta, shallot and celery and cook, stirring, for 5 mins or until shallot softens. Add the garlic and cook for 1 min or until aromatic. Add the pasta, tomato, stock and beans and bring to a simmer.

  2. Step 2

    Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 12-15 mins or until pasta is al dente. Add the frozen vegetables and cook for a further 2-3 mins or until heated through. Season.

  3. Step 3

    Ladle soup into a serving bowl. Sprinkle with parmesan and parsley. Serve with toasted garlic bread.

Recipe tip

Smart swap: Replace the frozen veg with any firm veggies you have in the crisper. Diced carrots, pumpkin or green beans would work well.

Use it up: Make our flavoursome Malfalde corte with olives, pancetta and basil with the leftover pancetta slices and pasta from this recipe.
