Instructions: Sort, rinse and soak beans. (To maintain color integrity, soak white and colored beans separately). Saute garlic and onion in oil. Add drained beans, broth and oregano. Simmer, covered, until beans are tender. Add tomatoes, carrots and celery. Simmer 15 minutes longer. Stir in spinach and pasta; adjust seasoning with salt. Simmer 5 minutes or only until heated through. Top individual servings with grated Romano cheese.
