4. Simmer with the lid on for a further 10 minutes or until soft.
5. Add the uncooked pasta and continue to simmer for another 6-10 minutes stirring regularly or until the pasta is cooked.
6. When you are ready to serve, add the spinach and boil for 1 minute or until the spinach is wilted. Taste and if necessary add seasoning.
7. To serve: ladle the hot chunky soup into 6 warm bowls and sprinkle with some finely grated Parmesan and a drizzle of pesto.
Cook's Notes
If you are using fresh tomatoes, you will need to peel them. To do this score a cross with a sharp knife on the base of the tomato and drop them, carefully, into boiling water for 10-15 seconds, until the skin peels off easily.
