Yield 2-3 people

Number Of Ingredients 12

Good glub of olive oil
4 cloves of garlic
Half an onion
1 large carrot
Macaroni
2 chicken stock cubes
2 pints of water
Can of tomatoes
Can of white beans
Bag of baby spinach
Mozzarella or another mild cheese
Spices - black pepper, salt and oregano

Steps:

In one pan, half-boil the macaroni. I use a large handful for two people. Put another big stew pot over low heat, pour in several tablespoons of olive oil, the garlic, onion and carrot. Stir around for about 1 minute. Throw in the stock cubes and mash them up a bit. Pour in the water (boil it first if you can). Take the macaroni off the heat, drain it and pour it into the big pot. Add the can of tomato and the can of bean. After it stews for awhile and starts to reduce, put in the spices. About three minutes before you intend to serve it, put in the spinach and finally the cheese. This serves 2 people with plenty for dinner and some leftover. And it is delicious!
