INGREDIENTS
1 chicken sausage (85g)
0.75 cup cooked whole wheat pasta (84g)
0.25 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese (28g)
2 tbsp low-fat cream cheese (30g)
1 cup fresh spinach (30g)
0.5 cup cherry tomatoes (75g)
2 garlic cloves
1 small onion (70g)
1 tsp olive oil
0.5 cup water or low-sodium chicken broth (120g)
PREPARATION
Slice the chicken sausage into rounds and set aside.
Bring a pot of water to boil and cook the whole wheat pasta until al dente. Drain and reserve.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until translucent.
Add the sliced chicken sausage to the skillet and cook until slightly browned.
Stir in the cooked whole wheat pasta and pour in water or low-sodium chicken broth. Allow the liquid to warm and slightly reduce.
Mix in the low-fat cream cheese and shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese until creamy and well combined.
Fold in fresh spinach and cherry tomatoes, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until spinach wilts and tomatoes are heated.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve warm.
