With well over the RDA of vitamin C and vitamin A -- and a healthy dose of both iron and calcium. Adapted from RealAge
| 8 | ounces pasta, whole-wheat shells, fusilli, or chiocciole |
| 1 | bunch broccoli, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces, or 8 cups baby spinach |
| 1 1/2 | cups vegetable broth or reduced-sodium chicken broth |
| 1 | tablespoon all-purpose flour |
| 2 | tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil |
| 4 | cloves garlic, minced |
| 19 | ounces cannellini beans, can, rinsed |
| 2 | tablespoons red wine vinegar |
| 1/4 | teaspoon salt |
| 1/4 | teaspoon freshly ground pepper |
| 1/2 | cup shredded fontina cheese |
| 2/3 | cup toasted bread crumbs |
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, according to package directions. Stir in broccoli rabe (or spinach) during the last 2 to 3 minutes. Drain. Dry the pot.
- Whisk broth and flour in a small bowl until smooth. Heat oil in the pot over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the broth mixture and bring to a simmer, whisking constantly, until it thickens, 3 to 4 minutes. Add beans, vinegar, salt and pepper and the pasta and broccoli rabe (or spinach).
- Cook, stirring, until the mixture is heated through, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat; add cheese, stirring until it melts. Serve immediately, topped with toasted bread crumbs, if desired. Makes 4 servings.
