Pasta e Fagioli with Sweet and Salty Carrots

I've had Pasta e Fagioli many times, but it's always been served to me as a soup, so when I saw this recipe calling for only a very small amount of liquid, I was interested to see how it would turn out.  The recipe is quite simple and though not very different from dishes I've made on my own, it was tasty.  Karl heartily approved!  Toddler verdict was mixed...loved the spinach, pasta and tomatoes, but mostly enjoyed smashing the beans.  I tossed in some soon-to-go bad zucchini into the mix too, which gave a nice extra bit of veg.

Carrots, though super simple, were genius.  I've made maple-glazed carrots many times, but have not used salt before.  The results here were delicious...definitely one to make again.

and....spring rolls were on the markdown rack at the supermarket today :)
