Preparation

Step 1

Saute the onion and garlic in olive oil for a minute, just until tender. Chop the tomatoes and place into a slow cooker along with the broth and sauteed onion and garlic. Add the parsley, a little salt, and a dash of pepper. Cover and cook for about 3 hours on LOW. Add the cooked macaroni and beans; taste and adjust seasonings. Cook for 30 minutes longer on low until hot. Serve with a grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
