In another minestrone recipe they use a borlotti bean. Is there another name for it ? Also your recipe is the best I've found so far. It's the oregano definitely. I add more pepper as well. Plus I'll only add the pasta needed and then freeze the soup. I can boil some pasta as needed in vegetable broth for more flavor. Thanks in advance for your expertise. ?????????? !!! I2Reply
