Ingredients

Good glub of olive oil

4 cloves of garlic

Half an onion

1 large carrot

Macaroni

2 chicken stock cubes

2 pints of water

Can of tomatoes

Can of white beans

Bag of baby spinach

Mozzarella or another mild cheese

Spices - black pepper, salt and oregano

Preparation

In one pan, half-boil the macaroni. I use a large handful for two people.

Put another big stew pot over low heat, pour in several tablespoons of olive oil, the garlic, onion and carrot. Stir around for about 1 minute. Throw in the stock cubes and mash them up a bit. Pour in the water (boil it first if you can).

Take the macaroni off the heat, drain it and pour it into the big pot. Add the can of tomato and the can of bean. After it stews for awhile and starts to reduce, put in the spices. About three minutes before you intend to serve it, put in the spinach and finally the cheese.

This serves 2 people with plenty for dinner and some leftover. And it is delicious!
