Ingredients

  1. 1 pound ground beef (95% lean)
  2. 1/2 teaspoon salt
  3. 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  4. 2 cups water
  5. 1 can (14 to 14-1/2 ounces) beef broth
  6. 1 can (15-1/2 ounces) Great Northern beans, undrained
  7. 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) Italian-style diced tomatoes, undrained
  8. 1 cup uncooked alphabet pasta
  9. 2 cups small broccoli florets
  10. Salt and pepper
  11. Grated or shredded Parmesan cheese (optional)
    Parmesan Toasts:
  1. 3 slices whole wheat bread
  2. Olive oil for brushing
  3. 2 tablespoons grated or shredded Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 350°F. Heat large nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add ground beef; cook 8 to 10 minutes, breaking into 3/4-inch crumbles and stirring occasionally. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  2. Add water, broth, beans, tomatoes and pasta; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 5 minutes. Stir in broccoli; return to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 3 to 5 minutes or until broccoli is crisp-tender and pasta is tender. Season with salt and pepper, as desired.
