Pasta Fagioli - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 to 3 links Italian sausage (may use poultry)
1 clove garlic, minced
1 onion, chopped
1 pkg. frozen chopped spinach, thawed
1 can Great Northern beans
2 large cans diced tomatoes
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
1 tsp. olive oil
2 to 3 c. chicken broth
1 1/2 c. ditalini

Preparation

In a large soup pot, heat the olive oil over medium high heat.
Add the sausage, onion and garlic and cook for 5 to 6 minutes or until no pink remains in the sausage, stirring frequently to break up the meat.
Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil; simmer for twenty minutes.
Add the ditalini and simmer an additional ten minutes, stirring frequently to keep the pasta from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Best if made a day ahead so the flavors meld.
