TUSCAN RED, WHITE & GREEN PASTA SAUCE



Tuscan Red, White & Green Pasta Sauce image

I came up with this on a night I didn't feel like working in the kitchen. A quick-to-fix pasta sauce using frozen spinach and canned beans and tomatoes. The only chopping needed is for the onion and garlic and you can even buy those pre-chopped, too! Prep time does not include thawing the spinach.

Time 30m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 honeysuckle white brand sweet Italian turkey sausage links
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, to taste
1 teaspoon italian seasoning, to taste
1 small onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (14 ounce) can great northern beans or 1 (14 ounce) can cannellini beans, drained
1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed
1/2-1 cup beef broth, as needed

Steps:

  • In a large skillet or Dutch oven brown sausage with red pepper and Italian seasoning (I squeeze it out of the casing so it crumbles like ground beef).
  • Add onion and garlic, sautee until onion is translucent but not brown, about 4 minutes.
  • Add beans, tomatoes and spinach and stir well.
  • Add beef broth a little at a time, stirring as you add, until you get the desired consistency (mine was very chunky).
  • Simmer covered about 10 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
  • Serve over pasta of your choice.
