  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 carrot, chopped
  • 4 ounces pancetta, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, 1 minced and 1 whole
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 1 pound frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 1 (15-ounce) can cannelloni beans, drained

  • 1 (3-inch) piece Parmesan rind
  • 4 to 6 ciabatta rolls, halved lengthwise or 1 loaf, sliced
  • Grated Parmesan, for serving

Instructions

1

Heat the oil in a heavy large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, pancetta, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook until the onion is golden brown and the pancetta is crisp, about 7 minutes. Add tomato paste and stir until dissolved. Add tomatoes and stir, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to release all the brown bits. Add the spinach, beans, herbs, stock, bay leaf, and Parmesan rind. Bring the soup to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.

2

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

3

Drizzle the ciabatta halves with olive oil. Toast until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and rub the top of the toasts with the whole garlic clove.

4

Sprinkle with Parmesan and serve immediately. Serve with ciabiatta rolls for happy dipping!
