Manestra: Method
- Finely chop the onion, then sauté it in a pan with 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and two whole garlic cloves.
- Once the onion is softened, remove the garlic cloves and add one tablespoon of Mutti Double Concentrate Tomato Paste. Stir well to dissolve it in the oil.
- Add the orzo pasta and toast it for a minute over medium heat.
- Mix in the Mutti Polpa (Finely Chopped Tomatoes), oregano, bay leaves, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and cook the orzo pasta, adding more broth if needed during cooking.
- The final consistency of the manestra should be creamy, not overly liquid.
