Ingredients

  • 2 TB olive oil
  • 14 oz can tomato sauce
  • ¼ cup water
  • 14 oz can cannellini beans rinsed and drained
  • 1 medium sweet potato peeled and sliced
  • 1 broccoli crown in florets
  • 1 Roma tomato cubed
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions

  • Place peeled and sliced sweet potato in a microwave-safe bowl with water. Microwave, covered, 3-4 minutes until just starting to soften. Cut slices into bite-sized cubes.
  • Heat large saucepan on medium heat, add oil. Add the onions and beans. Cook, stirring, for 5-7 minutes, until onion and beans are just starting to brown. Add sweet potato, then garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  • Add chopped tomato and broccoli and pour in the tomato sauce and water.
  • Add Italian seasoning and stir. Allow sauce to come to a boil and reduce heat to simmer. Simmer for 8-10 minutes, or until broccoli is crisp-tender. Turn off heat, add spinach and stir. The spinach will wilt in 30-60 seconds.
  • Serve alone or with pasta/zoodles.
