Steps for preparing pasta and potatoes
First, peel and wash the potatoes. Cut them into small pieces. Chop the onion and carrot and sauté the mixture in the saucepan with a drizzle of oil. When it sizzles, add the potatoes.
After letting them flavor for a couple of minutes, add some hot vegetable broth. If the broth is unsalted, remember to add salt. Cook for about 5 minutes.
Add the double concentrated tomato paste, the small pasta, and cook, adding hot vegetable broth as needed and stirring often.
