Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes until softened.

Step 2.
Add the chopped carrots, celery, fennel, ¾ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, 6 to 8 minutes.
-
Step 3.
Stir in the finely chopped garlic and 6 thyme sprigs, and cook for 2 minutes until fragrant.
-
Step 4.
Pour in ½ cup dry white wine and simmer until nearly evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes.
-
Step 5.
Add the 28-ounce can of whole peeled tomatoes with their juice, crushing them into small pieces with your hands or a spoon as you add them. Add 5 cups water and 1 tablespoon chicken or vegetable base (if using). Bring to a boil.
-
Step 6.
Add 6 ounces orecchiette or other short pasta and simmer, stirring often, until barely tender, 8 to 12 minutes depending on the pasta type.
-
Step 7.
Stir in the rinsed white beans (from two 15-ounce cans) and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Remove the thyme sprigs. Serve topped with chopped fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese.
