Directions
Heat olive oil in a casserole. Add onions and cook until golden, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add celery and carrots and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add beans, bay leaf, thyme and toss for 1 minute. Add parmesan rind (if using), plum tomatoes and their juice, salt, and pepper to taste. (Caution: be careful with the amount of salt because the parmesan rind will add a salty flavor) Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 1 hour. Add the potatoes, zucchini, and savory cabbage and cook for 20 minutes more or until the vegetables are tender. Add the cooked pasta and cook covered for 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper, ladle into bowls serve and enjoy.
