Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic, diced carrots, and celery. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes, vegetable broth, and rinsed cannellini beans. Stir to combine.
Add the Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the soup simmer for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, stir in the pasta and cook uncovered for 8-10 minutes, or until the pasta is tender.
Once the pasta is cooked, add the chopped spinach and stir until wilted, about 2 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves, if desired. Serve warm.
