The ingredients for Easy WW Pasta w/Spinach and White Beans are:

1 pound of whole wheat pasta
1 TB extra virgin olive oil
1+ TB garlic, minced
1 15 oz can of white beans
Italian herbs, to taste (a TB at most)
1 cup chicken or veggie broth
10 oz package of spinach

Here is how you make Easy WW Pasta w/Spinach and White Beans:

Cook pasta. As pasta is cooking, gather the rest of your ingredients (it should time perfectly this way). Heat oil over medium heat and saute garlic until fragrant. Add in beans, Italian herbs, and chicken broth, bringing to a boil then reducing to a simmer. Pasta should be done about now, drain but save a cup of the pasta water. Put the bean mixture in the pasta pan (keep the pasta in a colander) and mix in the spinach. Once mixed, add the pasta back in and simmer until spinach wilts. Check the consistency and amount of liquid, adding small bits of the pasta water back into the mixture until desired state. I divide into 4 servings and let everyone add salt to their taste (grated hard Italian cheese is also good but adds more calories). Add a bit of pasta water to any leftovers to maintain moisture when reheating later.Serving Size: As a meal, makes 4 servings (a bit more than 4 cups each)Number of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user WATERBABY*3.
