Preparation

Step 1

1. Cook the pasta according to package directions in a large pot. Drain and set aside.

2. Pour the chicken broth and garlic into the same pot. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer. Add the sausage, oregano, and olive oil. Stir well.

3. Stir in the beans, tomatoes, and cooked pasta to the pot. Place the spinach on top of mixture. Cover with a lid and turn off the heat. Allow to steam for about 1 minute, just until spinach has begun to wilt. Stir mixture.

4. Serve with a heaping tablespoon of Parmesan cheese on top and seasoned with black pepper to taste.

Fit Tip: Because the broth and sausage add plenty of sodium to this dish, I ecommend using no-salt added tomatoes. Many brands now offer no-salt added versions, some of which have as little as one-tenth of the sodium in the regular variety.
