It was a good afternoon for some cooking!

The bad news is that we failed the cauliflower.  Its just did not happen and its a bummer.  We pulled the plants an today I planted some cherry and grape tomatoes in their place.  It's a bit late in the season but we will see how it goes.

Alicia's Pasta Fagioli Soup

1 lb ground Italian turkey sausage, casings removed, crumbled

1 onion

1 garlic clove minced

2 cups of water
1 can great northern beans, drained and rinsed
1 can diced tomatoes, undrained

1 can 14.5 oz reduced sodium chicken broth

1 cup uncooked elbow macaroni (I prefer whole wheat pasta)

1 cup fresh spinach leaves, cut into strips

1-1/2 teaspoons olive oil

1 medium zucchini chopped - From the garden.

Parmesan cheese

Cook meat until no longer pink, drain and set aside.

Saute onion in oil until tender, add garlic and cook 1 more minute.

Add water, beans, tomatoes, broth, macaroni, zucchini and bring o a boil.

Cook uncovered for 8-10 minutes or until macaroni is tender.

Add sausage and spinach.  Cook additional 2-3 minutes and done!

Parmesan make a nice garnish

Until Next Time....

So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Matthew 6:34
