Made some pasta around 4pm but a lot of the time was spent cutting the veggies (celery, carrot, onion). I think I will be faster as I cook more regularly. Like the veggie soup, I freestyled this one. Veggies sauted in a bit of oil to drive off some moisture and get a little fond and aromatics. Deglaze with unsalted veggie broth and add the rest in. Pour in maybe a quarter of a box of pasta and smooth it over the broth and veggies. Pour in a can of tomato sauce and a can of drained black beans. Season with ground thyme and plenty of black pepper and salt.
