(Which I'm sure would be good, but I tweaked it to our taste. ) Full of flavor, nutritious and super easy-my kind of recipe. DH says, more-more.
Ingredients:
1 lb bulk turkey italian sausage (i used 1/2 sweet & 1/2 hot)
2 tablespoons kraft zesty light italian dressing
1 teaspoon garlic (crushed, grated, chopped-what you want)
2 (14 1/2 ounce) cans fat-free chicken broth
1 (16 ounce) package frozen peppers and onions
1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1 (28 ounce) can diced italian-style tomatoes
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
ground cracked black pepper
1 cup whole grain elbow macaroni, uncooked
fresh spinach (optional) or kale, chopped (optional)
part-skim mozzarella cheese
grated parmesan cheese
Directions:
1. Heat dressing and garlic on medium heat in a large saucepan. Add sausage; cook 8 to 10 min or until done, breaking into small pieces. Drain is necessary.
2. Add Italian seasoning, pepper, broth, stir-fry vegetables, beans and tomatoes; bring to a boil. Stir in macaroni (and spinach or kale if preferred) and simmer on medium heat 8-10 minutes or until macaroni is tender, stirring occasionally.
3. To serve, put a portion of the stew in a bowl, top with some mozzarella cheese, more stew and then a little Parmesan on top.
