Add cubed beef, diced onions, garlic, carrots, the whole can of diced tomatoes, cannellini beans, stock and water to your crockpot. Cook on low for 4-6 hours, stirring once or twice if you can.
About 10-15 minutes before serving, add in asparagus. spinach, peas and pasta. Cook on low for another 10-15 minutes.
Taste and season with salt and pepper as desired- about a 1/2 teaspoon of each, but it will depend on the sodium levels in your stock, tomatoes, etc. Serve immediately with additional cheese on top!
Enjoy!
