Cooking Directions

  • Heat a 4-quart saucepan over medium-high heat for 1 minute. Add the sausage and cook until well browned, stirring often to separate meat. Pour off any fat.
  • Add the oregano, onion and carrot to the saucepan.  Cook 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir in the broth and heat to a boil. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 10 minutes or until the sausage is cooked through. Stir in the spinach and ditalini and cook for 1 minute or until the spinach is wilted. Season to taste.  Sprinkle with the cheese, if desired.
