Beans, Vegetables and Pasta with Bacon garnish

I prefer eating low carb, so I made this dish using edamame and low carb pasta. I used vegetables I had on hand: red onions and celery. I also used 2 tbsp chicken broth which I think made the dish, having tasted the vegetables before and after. I make ice cubes out of broth to use for cooking. This helps me cut down on fat and adds flavor where water does not.

Ingredients

  • 1 slice bacon or more
  • 7 cups aromatic vegetables such as onions, celery, carrots, mushrooms
  • 12 oz beans rinsed if canned, defrosted if frozen
  • 4 oz pasta
  • 2 tbsp broth or more if needed
  • 1 salt to taste
  • 1 garlic-pepper; to taste

Preparation

1. Put up water to cook pasta.

2. Cut bacon into small pieces and cook to render fat and crisp the bacon pieces.

3. While water is heating up and bacon is cooking, cut up vegetables of your choosing. The quantity of vegetables should roughly match the quantity of beans.

4. When done remove bacon but keep fat in pan. Retain bacon to garnish the dish when finished.

5. Add cut vegetables to the pan with the bacon fat. Toss to coat the oil on the vegetables and toss occasionally as it cooks. If they start to stick to the pan add the broth.

6. When the water starts to boil add the pasta.

7. Immediately after add the beans to the vegetables and toss with the vegetables in the pan.

8. When the pasta is al dente drain and return to the pot.

9. Add the beans and vegetables to the pasta and toss. Adjust salt and pepper seasoning if needed.

10. Spoon into a serving bowl and add the bacon garnish.
