Vegetable Pasta Pot

This is the perfect dish to use up whatever vegetables you have lying around. Think chunky vegetable stew meets minestrone. You can swap in whatever vegetables, beans or pasta you have to really make this dish your own!

Storage: Once cooled it lasts for 3 days in the fridge, it also freezes well.
