Description

This is a filling dinner that comes together in a snap! Packed with protein pasta, hearty sausage, and low-fat garbanzo beans, you will stay full!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 pound Protein Rotini Pasta (or Penne), I used Barilla Protein Pasta
  • 12 ounces Pork Sausage
  • 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 Red Onion, sliced thinly
  • 5 cups Spinach
  • 1 can (15-oz) Garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed

Instructions

  1. Bring pot of salted water to a boil. Add in pasta and cook until al dente, or to taste. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water. Drain the remaining water and rinse. Set aside.
  2. While the pasta is cooking, cook sausage in the saute pan, breaking apart into chunks. Cook until lightly browned.
  3. Add in the olive oil, and add in the sliced red onion. Cook until the onion is just softened. Add in the spinach, and wilt.
  4. Add in the drained and rinsed garbanzo beans to the mixture and toss to combine. Add in salt and pepper to taste if you would like.
  5. Toss in the drained pasta. Add additional olive oil if desired.
