Tonight, after eating too many treats at work (my fault - I made them and they were outstanding!), I needed a healthy dinner. The following recipe is full of vitamins and flavor...
Serves 4
1 large onion, diced
1 lb. Lightlife sausage (veggie sausage)
4 (or so) cups chopped fresh tomatoes (I think I used 5-6 baseball sized tomatoes)
1 pkg. frozen spinach
1 can no-salt cannelini beans (do not drain unless you don't have salt-free)
1 can diced tomatoes (do not drain)
1 tablespoon oregano
Olive oil
Directions:
1. Soften the onions in olive oil in a large pot.
2. Add the sausage and brown lightly. You can use true sausage or an alternative, like we do. The Lightlife brand has terrific flavor for this type of dish and costs about $4.
3. Defrost the spinach lightly (2 min. in the microwave will do).
4. Add in all of the remaining ingredients and stir well. Cover your pot and let simmer for 20 minutes.
Garnish with a dollop of light ricotta cheese or shredded/shaved parmesan.
