Ingredients | Sausage White Beans And Spinach

1 (14 ounce) package Hillshire Farm® Smoked Sausage, diagonally cut into 1/4-inch slices

2 teaspoons olive oil

6 ounces bow tie pasta, cooked and drained

1 (15 ounce) can white beans, rinsed and drained

1 medium zucchini, sliced into thin rounds

½ cup vegetable broth

½ pint cherry tomatoes, halved

1 (6 ounce) package fresh spinach

¼ cup toasted pine nuts

Directions

Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

Heat a dry large skillet over medium-low heat and toast pine nuts, stirring frequently, until pine nuts are golden in spots, about 3 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in the same skillet on medium-high heat. Saute the smoked sausage for 5 minutes, or until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Remove smoked sausage and set aside.

Add the zucchini and vegetable broth to the skillet and simmer until zucchini are soft, about 5 minutes. Add spinach, white beans and cherry tomatoes; continue to simmer for 2 minutes until spinach is wilted and tomatoes are soft.

Turn the heat to low; add the pasta and smoked sausage to the vegetables mixing well to combine and cook for 30 seconds until heated through.

Garnish with toasted pine nuts and serve warm.

Add Parmesan and green onions for garnish.

Add 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper for extra spice.

You could use winter squash in addition or in place of the zucchini.
