SAUSAGE AND WHITE BEAN STEW (WEIGHT WATCHERS)

Steps:

• In a stockpot or large nonstick skillet, heat the oil.
• Crumble the sausage into the skillet, and cook, breaking apart with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 8 minutes. (NOTE: If you're using kielbasa, just saute briefly until it browns).
• Add the onion, garlic, basil, salt, and pepper, stirring as needed, until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
• Stir in the broccoli rabe, tomatoes and beans; cook until the broccoli rabe is wilted, about five minutes. (If you're using fresh spinach, it will wilt! I promise.
• Just cover it with the bean and sausage mixture and let it cook for about 5 minutes).
• Top with cheese if desired and serve.
