• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1-1/2 teaspoons canola oil
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 2 cups water
• 1 can (15-1/2 ounces) great northern beans, rinsed and drained

• 3/4 cup uncooked elbow macaroni
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 cup fresh spinach leaves, cut as desired

1. In a large saucepan, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain, remove from pan and set aside. In the same pan, saute onion in oil until tender. Add garlic; saute 1 minute longer.
2. Add the water, beans, tomatoes, broth, macaroni and pepper; bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, until macaroni is tender, 8-10 minutes.
