Ingredients
- 1¼ lb Italian sausage links
- 1 can (14.5 oz) low-sodium diced tomatoes
- 1 can (15 oz) low-sodium white beans, drained and rinsed
- 8 oz penne pasta
- 1 count onion
- 2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
Steps
- Brown sausage links sliced into coins in a large skillet until they reach 160°F. Remove and set aside. Drain extra fat, leaving a little in the pan.
- Sauté diced onion in the same skillet, then add tomatoes, beans, pasta, broth, and pepper flakes.
- Simmer uncovered for 15 minutes until pasta is tender, stirring often.
- Return sausage to the pan, stir, and serve hot.
- Picky eater tip: serve the sausage, beans and pasta plain on the side, without the tomato sauce.
- Make ahead: slice the sausage and dice the onion up to 2 days ahead and keep them in the fridge. Leftovers keep 3 days.
On the side: Simple green salad (5 min)
1 bag bagged salad greens, 1 bottle salad dressing
- Put the greens in a bowl and toss with dressing just before serving.
