Notes

Are you craving lasagne but don't have the time to prepare it?  This delicious soup is a great way to indulge that craving!  It has all the flavor, but not all of the fuss, and everyone will be happy when they're called to dinner.  
If desired, you can easily alter this recipe.  Want more protein?  Add another can of cannellini beans or 1 pound of extra-lean ground beef.  Serve it with crusty garlic bread and a side salad to complete the meal.
Change up the flavor with a splash of balsamic vinegar, chili flakes, or a pinch of smoked paprika.
The Mediterranean diet is one of the most studied diets.  The many known health benefits of this style of eating include better cardiovascular function, metabolic health, and healthy aging.
Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
