another yummy (and healthy!) recipe....

So last night after I got all settled in I wanted to try another recipe from Better Homes and Gardens that I had found..... Winter Garden Pasta.

This is a recipe that has just a few ingredients and super easy to make! I love it when healthy is disguised as delicious!!!

Winter Garden Pasta

8 ounces dried whole grain spaghetti

3 cups broccoli florets

1 14 1/2-oz can no-salt-added diced tomatoes, drained

1 15-oz can white kidney beans (cannellini beans), rinsed and drained

2 tablespoons no-salt-added tomato paste

2 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons snipped fresh Italian (flat-leaf) parsley

2. Add broccoli to pasta for the last 3 minutes of cooking, drain and return to Dutch oven.

3. Stir in tomatoes, beans, tomato paste, garlic, salt & pepper. Heat through.

4. Stir in parsley.
