– 1 can of diced tomatoes,– 8 cups of low-sodium chicken broth,– 3/4 cup of farfalle, preferably whole grain, or any other type of pasta,
– 2 cups of green beans, trimmed and halved (a few cups of baby spinach or diced broccoli can replace the green beans),– Parmesan cheese for serving.
Preparation:
