Sausage and Bean Ragù on Quinoa Macaroni
Becky Luigart-Stayner
Quinoa (KEEN-wah) is a South American grain prized for its high protein content. Use whole wheat macaroni, which includes eight essential amino acids, if you can't find it.
How to Make It
Step 1
Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat.
Step 2
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté 3 minutes. Add sausage; cook until browned, stirring to crumble. Stir in wine, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Add broth and next 4 ingredients (through tomatoes); bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes.
Step 3
Add pasta, stirring well. Top evenly with cheese. Serve immediately.

I'm big into health food (which alot of times can mean bland food)... I sub in low fat hot italian chicken sausage, cook that first, and cook the veggies after to omit the olive oil all together. This meal is definitely not guilty of being bland. Throw in any extra veggies: mushrooms, celery, kale, corn, whateva.

Very good, easy, and cheap. For me it made closer to six servings and was quite filling. Good comfort food dish. One change I made was to add a heaping 1/4 tsp of crushed red pepper with the broth and other ingredients.

My family loved this recipe! Very good! The recipe has a misprint. It's a 8oz box of quinoa macaroni. It was plenty!
