Ingredients4 oz. bacon (4 slices), chopped medium
1 onion
4-6 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp. dried oregano
1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes
1 (28 oz) can diced tomatoes
2 (15.5 oz) cans cannellini beans, rinsed
3.5 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2.5 cups water
salt
8 oz. small-shaped pasta (I like orzo, but you could also use ditalini)
pepper
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
olive oil
Instructions
1. Cook bacon in large Dutch oven over medium heat until crisp, about 8 minutes. Stir in onion, garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Cook until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in tomatoes with their juice, beans, broth, water, and 1 tsp. salt. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
2. Stir in pasta and cook until just slightly underdone. Off the heat, season with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle individual bowls with grated cheese and a drizzle of olive oil.
