Tuscan Pasta

(You can add 1 pound of cooked chicken cut into strips to this if you'd like meat in there.)

Ingredients:
6 oz. Penne or Rotini Pasta (half a box)
1 can (15 oz) Great Northern Beans
1/2 cup Roasted Red Peppers, chopped
1 C Baby Spinach, chopped
1 clove Garlic, minced
1 teaspoon finely chopped Rosemary, preferably fresh
1 teaspoon broth
Fresh Parmesan cheese
1 lb. of chicken, if desired.

Directions:
  1. If using chicken, cook the chicken and cut it into thin strips. Set aside.
  2. Cook pasta according to directions.
  3. Heat the broth in a large skillet. Add the beans, vegetables, and spices. Cook 3-5 minutes or until the spinach begins to wilt a little.
  4. Toss with pasta (and add the chicken if you're using it).
  5. Top with Parmesan cheese.
If you're using a box of pasta and you'd prefer to cook the entire box, just double the rest of the ingredients for a larger meal.
