Add zucchini, crushed tomatoes, water or broth, kidney beans, Italian seasoning, salt & pepper. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low to maintain a steady simmer. Place lid on the pot and cook 20-25 minutes or until the carrots and celery are tender.
While the soup is simmering, bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until pasta is al dente. Drain pasta and set aside until ready to serve the soup.
To serve, add cooked noodles to a bowl, then ladle soup over the pasta. Garnish with parsley and parmesan cheese, if desired,
