Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Begin cooking pasta as per package instructions. Set aside once drained if serving with the stew.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and roast the halved tomatoes with olive oil and seasonings for about 25 minutes.
Sauté the sliced onion in olive oil until soft and golden, around 5-7 minutes.
Add drained white beans, sun-dried tomatoes, tomato paste, garlic powder, and oregano to the pot. Heat for 3-5 minutes.
Incorporate the roasted tomatoes with their juices, fresh parsley, baby spinach, and olives. Stir until spinach wilts (2-3 minutes).
Add vegetable broth for desired consistency and season with salt and pepper. Adjust to taste.
Serve the stew hot, with or without pasta. Enjoy!
