Lamb Stew With Pasta

Submitted by Annacia

"This is comfort food and a meal in a pot. All you need is some good quality bread. It was shared with me by a new neighbor when we were getting acquainted so I call it Donna's Stew. I must admit that I use canned green beans (drained) because I dislike frozen ones."

Wow Wow Wow Wow!!! This was positively amazing. It was so easy to make and the nice butcher at the grocery store even chopped my lamb into cubes for me so I didn't have to get my hands dirty. The one thing that I did do different is to buy fresh green beans at the farmer's market, and I put them in with the water and dried tomatos just to give them some more time to cook through. They came out perfect, and this was a delicious meal for a rainy mid-October dinner. Tomatos have always been one of my favorite bases for a soup. I'll definitely be making this one again. ;)
