If you think of a healthy dish, a recipe immediately comes to mind: the vegetable soup minestrone. The great classic of Italian tables, is a recipe that changes depending on the season of the year depending on the vegetables available. There is no right or wrong recipe, but here I describe the one that contains the most used ingredients.

PREPARATION

The preparation is very simple and if you have a pressure cooker even quick (cut the cooking time to 1/3). Wash and cut all the vegetables into cubes. Brown the onion and add all the other ingredients except for the pasta in a pot. Let it boil for 1 hour (until the vegetables have softened). Add the pasta and serve sprinkle with Parmesan.
