"Plenty of flavor and nutrition with a low fat content. A practical cold-weather dish to make at short notice, since you'll probably find you have some of the ingredients already on hand. This recipe is compliments of the American Dairy Association."

I LOVE this recipe. It comes together easily and most ingredients are on hand already. Can always substitute canned tomatoes as well. Recipe can also be found on the back of one of the Northern Beans Brand's cans. -
I made this last night and it was really tasty for a healthy dish. I made it with whole wheat fussili pasta and my less than health conscious boyfriend liked it too. Looking for a new recipe for tonight!
