Ingredients

What you'll need

  • 1 lb minestrone
  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tsp garlic
  • 1 medium Parmesan
  • 1 lb fresh basil
  • a pinch kosher salt
  • 4 oz cracked black pepper
  • to taste flaky salt
Method

Step by step

  1. Pat the minestrone dry and season it well so it browns instead of steaming.
  2. Get your pan hot and render the aromatics until they smell sweet and toasty.
  3. Return the minestrone, add just enough liquid, and simmer until everything is tender.
  4. Taste, brighten with a squeeze of citrus, and plate while it is still hot.
