1 cn Great Northern Beans

1 cn Red kidney beans

1 Or 2 cans diced cooked

Tomatoes 2 lg Carrots

1 Or 2 large onions, chopped

2 To 6 cloves of chopped

Garlic 2 lg Carrots, cut in thin strips

Chunks 3 To 4 heaping Tbsps of

Italian Seasoning 1/4 t Red pepper flakes

Saute garlic and onion till soft.
Add beans (entire can) and tomatoes and 3 ca ns of water.
When hot, add Italian Seasoning. Bring to a boil, then

cook till sp ices are well-blended.
Add pasta, carrots and celery and cook till pasta is ready - - about ten minutes.
Carrots should be slightly crunchy.
Adjust seasonings if desired.
This makes a thick stew.
If you like it wetter, use more water.
I expect you could lower the fat by reducing the amount of beans.
This is an adaptation of a recipe calling for sausage and other meat.
You can add non-fat Parmesan cheese at the table if you want.
Serves 8 or 9.
