An Italian dish that may seem a little unconventional, pasta paired with potatoes. A soupy pasta dish made with leftover pantry items such as potatoes, veggies, herbs, and mixed pasta.
1 pound potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-nch pieces
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp dried parsley
1/2 tsp dried rosemary
salt & freshly ground pepper
5 cups chicken stock
8 ounces dry small pasta mix (a mix of macaroni, penne, broken spaghetti, or whatever you have)
freshly grated Parmesan cheese
DIRECTIONS
Heat the oil in a dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onion, celery, carrot, and crushed red pepper to the hot oil and cook, stirring often, until vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the potatoes, garlic, parsley, rosemary, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper to the pot and stir to combine. Pour in the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Place a lid on the pot and reduce the heat to medium-low. simmer, covered, until potatoes just start to become tender, about 10 minutes.
Add the pasta to the pot and stir to combine, if the pasta isnt covered in liquid add a little water. Return to a boil then reduce heat to medium-low. Place the lid back on the dutch oven and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is cooked, 10 to 15 more minutes. Season with salt & pepper to taste.
Ladle into bowls and top with freshly grated Parmesan.
