Ingredients

  • 1 pound Italian turkey sausage
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped yellow onion
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 cups water
  • 32 ounces low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 can (15 1/2 ounces) great northern beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can (14 1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 cup uncooked ditalini pasta
  • 2 teaspoons Italian spice blend
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 cups fresh spinach leaves, rough chopped
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. Over medium heat, in a 6.3 Qt. Dutch Oven Bottom, cook the sausage, breaking it into pieces, until it’s no longer pink. Drain, remove from the pan and set aside.
  2. In the same pan, add the oil and sauté the onion over medium heat until tender. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
  3. Add the water, broth, beans, tomatoes, pasta, Italian spice blend, salt and pepper and bring the mixture to a boil. Cook, uncovered, until the pasta is al dente, approximately 8-10 minutes.
  4. Reduce the heat to low, stir in the cooked sausage and spinach. Cook until the spinach is just wilted.
  5. Serve and garnish with cheese.
