- 8 ounces ziti, or other tube pasta
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 large garlic cloves, minced
- 1 pound baby spinach
- 1 can (15.5 ounces) small white beans, rinsed and drained

- 1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth, or water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to the package directions, leaving out the salt. Drain and keep warm.
