Preparation

Step 1

Cut any remaining ham off bone, or use some of leftover ham if you've got any...cut into small pieces.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in pot, add ham, onion, celery, and garlic and sauté for 8 to 10 minutes.

Step 3

Add ham bone, and all other ingredients except for beans and pasta, and simmer for 45 minutes.

Step 4

Add beans and cook another 30 minutes.

Step 5

Prepare pasta in separate pot according to directions, drain and set aside. Toss with olive oil to keep from sticking.

Step 6

Add a scoop of pasta to each bowl before adding soup.
Top with parmesan or romano cheese.

Step 7

Store leftover soup and pasta separately, or pasta will absorb all of the broth.
