Cooking Pasta

  • Boil the Ditalini: Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the ditalini pasta and cook it according to the package instructions, usually around 7-9 minutes. Remember, you want it al dente, so taste it a minute or two before the time is up.

Sautéing Vegetables

  • SautĂ© Your Vegetables: While the pasta is cooking, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add your choice of chopped vegetables, such as bell peppers, zucchini, or spinach. SautĂ© them for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender.

Preparing Broth

  • Prepare the Broth: In a separate pot, warm up your vegetable or chicken broth. You can use store-bought or homemade broth, depending on what you have on hand.

Combining Ingredients

  • Combine Ingredients: Once the ditalini is cooked, drain it and add it directly to the skillet with the sautĂ©ed vegetables. Pour in the warm broth, stirring gently to combine everything.

Seasoning

  • Season to Taste: Now, it’s time to season your dish. Add salt, pepper, and any herbs you love. Stir everything together and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.

Serving

  • Serve and Enjoy: Finally, ladle your ditalini mixture into bowls. For an extra touch, sprinkle some grated cheese on top or a drizzle of olive oil.
