"The flavours of Italy combine in this stew that is especially good served over pasta or with grilled italian bread. If ripe tomatoes are unavailable, use canned tomatoes instead. From Fresh from the Vegetarian Slow Cooker."

Made this for dinner tonight. I didn't have time to fix it in the crock pot, so I simmered it on the stove top. We all felt like the recipe was missing something. I plan to make the recipe again however; I will play with it a bit and see if we come up with something more to our liking. It is a good base recipe though, and can easily be added to. Thank you for sharing your recipe. Made and reviewed for the Best of 2010 Recipe Tag game.

This was ok, but a bit too much like a herby soup for my liking. My family ate it though.

I made this for my daughter and I for dinner with "Three Corn and Cheddar Spoon Bread" like CaliforniaJan suggested. We both really liked it!

I love white beans, so this was great!

We loved this. I must confess, I ran out of time and wasn't able to use my crock pot and it was done and delicious in just under two hours on the stove. I served it with "Recipe #217913" and it was the perfect, easy mid-week vegetarian supper.

I'm a now vegan who used to make one heck of a souvlaki. I love cooking, I was a huge fan of Moosewood and Molly Katzen prior to going vegan (although that has nothing to do with my choosing the name Katzen - that's just what my German Grandma has called me all my life.) Aside from cooking, I also love scuba diving, cycling, politics, and reading.
