THRIVE Pasta Florentine

I tried this recipe out of the Smart Start: Chef's Selections cookbook for dinner tonight. You can find it on the THRIVE Life website. I didn't have enough zucchini, so I substituted green beans instead. This dish is really versatile, you can use whatever veggies you want to!

Serves 4

2 cups Egg Noodle Pasta
1/2 cup Sausage Crumbles
1/2 cup Zucchini
1/2 cup Mushroom Pieces
1/2 cup Red Bell Peppers
1/4 cup Chopped Onions
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 1/2 cups Water + 2 1/2 teaspoons Chicken Bouillon
1/2 teaspoon Chef's Choice Seasoning Blend
1/2 cup Tomato Dices
1/4 cup Chopped Spinach
1 tablespoon Basil
1 tablespoon Parsley

Cook the egg noodles in salted water until almost tender. In a large saute pan, combine the sausage, zucchini, mushrooms. bell peppers,onions, garlic, and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and let the liquid reduce by about half.
Stir in the noodles and seasoning blend and heat through. Gently fold in the tomato dices, spinach, basil, and parsley. This was really good served with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese on top, too!
