Healthy Rigatoni, White Beans & Sausage Recipe!
I made this yesterday! It's a little bit different from the usual healthy main meals & it includes pasta!
This is a great recipe from my "Eat What You Love by Marlene Koch" Cookbook! https://amzn.to/3AtVCR1
Recipe has turkey kielbasa sausage, reduced-sodium chicken broth, no-salt diced tomatoes & tomatoes from the garden, white beans, garlic, rigatoni, fresh spinach and parmesan cheese!
Even though it uses low sodium and no salt ingredients the turkey sausage and parmesan add plenty of salt. A 1.5 cup serving has 720mg of sodium. If you're watching your salt plan to eat low sodium meals during the day and enjoy this tasty rustic pasta dish.
My adjustments: Double the amount of beans & tomatoes. I use smoked turkey kielbasa & I sear it along with the garlic in a frying pan. It gives it a crispy look and brings out the flavor. I added 6 drops of tabasco. Marlene Koch points out that you can use fresh seeded tomatoes if you have them.
BTW, I put the leftover amount of chicken broth in the freezer & keep track of it using my system.
