My latest cooking expedition!
This is the Sausage and Bean pasta dish from the "Just Five" cookbook as well. The recipe makes 6 servings at 8 PP per serving.

Here is the recipe plus some slight seasoning additions that I made to it:


-1/2 lb (approx. 1/2 box) of whole wheat rotini or rigatoni
-3/4 lb (about 4) of sweet or spicy Italian sausage, sliced
-1 14 oz. can of kidney beans, drained and rinsed
-14 oz. (1 can) of low sodium chicken broth
-3/4 lb. bunch of Kale, stems removed and chopped into thin strips
-1 tbsp. minced garlic
-salt and pepper to taste
-Mrs. Dash extra spicy seasoning to taste


-cook pasta according to package directions and set aside
-spray non-stick spray in a deep saute pan and brown the sausage with the garlic, salt and pepper and Mrs. Dash
-add chicken broth and kale and put on high heat. When the broth starts to boil, reduce the heat to medium. Cook until the Kale is tender. About 5 Minutes.
-Add beans and pasta and stir. Keep the pan on the heat for about 1 to 2 more minutes to reheat the pasta and beans. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
-Eat!
