Ingredients
  

  • 1 package dried lasagna noodles, whole wheat with wavy ridges
  • 2 small heads broccoli, about 4-6 cups, chopped into small pieces
  • 1 yellow onion, minced
  • 5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 15-ounce can white beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 jar spaghetti sauce (or 1.5 jars if preferred)
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Break lasagna noodles into small pieces. Cook according to package directions in boiling water. Add broccoli for the last 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
  2. Mince onion and garlic. Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté onion and garlic until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add rinsed and drained white beans to the skillet. Season generously with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook for a few minutes until beans are warm.
  4. Add the bean mixture to the pot with the noodles and broccoli. Stir to combine.
  5. Stir in spaghetti sauce and cook over medium heat until warmed through.
  6. Optional: Top with cheese before serving.

Notes

- For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg to the sauce.
- Feel free to substitute kale or spinach for broccoli.
- A sprinkle of parmesan or mozzarella cheese on top before serving elevates the dish.
