Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (14 ounce) package Hillshire Farm® Smoked Sausage, diagonally cut into 1/4-inch slices
2 teaspoons olive oil
6 ounces bow tie pasta, cooked and drained
1 (15 ounce) can white beans, rinsed and drained
1 medium zucchini, sliced into thin rounds
½ cup vegetable broth
½ pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1 (6 ounce) package fresh spinach
¼ cup toasted pine nuts

Steps:

  • Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my pasta dish turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much liquid.
