Sausage Spinach Skillet

This dish is one of my favorite comfort foods!  It's packed with flavor, vitamins and fiber rich.  If you must - add a loaf of crusty Italian bread - and dinner is done.

Ingredients
·         1 tablespoon olive oil
·         1 package (12 ounces) fully cooked Italian sausage links,  cut into 1-inch pieces
·         1 large onion, chopped
·         3 garlic cloves, minced
·         1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
·         1-1/2 pounds potatoes (about 5 medium), thinly sliced
·         1 red pepper – deseeded and sliced thin
·         1 15 oz. can cannellini beans – drained and rinsed
·         1/4 teaspoon pepper
·         1-1/4 cups vegetable broth
·         2 cups fresh baby spinach
 -        Shaved Romono or Provolone for garnish (optional)

Directions
In a 12-in. skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; sauté sausage and onion until onion is tender. Add garlic and pepper flakes; cook and stir 1 minute. Add potatoes, cannellini beans, red pepper, pepper and broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; cook, covered, until tender, 15-20 minutes. Stir in spinach until wilted.

For added D'Liciousness, shave 1/2 cup Pecorino Romano or imported Provolone cheese on top for garnish.

Health Tip: Italian chicken sausage has less than half the fat of regular. It’s lean, but adds a lot of flavor.

ENJOY!
