Ingredients
6 cloves garlic (or more if you like), sliced6 C frozen sweet yellow corn1-12 oz package Fusilli (I used a gluten free kind, feel free to use whole wheat)2-3 oz bratwurst, cooked, sliced/diced and slightly boiled to reduce fat/sodium15 oz can of black beans, drained and rinsed well (or you can cook your own to reduce sodium60 sprays of Wishbone italian vinaigrette6 pieces Kirkland artichoke hearts, sliced thin1-2.25 oz can sliced black olives, drained6 Tbsp grated parmesan cheese
Using a large pot, boil about 5 quarts of water. Add garlic and frozen corn. Three minutes later add fusilli. Boil for 9 more minutes, uncovered, stirring regularly. When pasta is done, add black beans and brats to water for about a minute(this will heat them up). Immediately drain and rinse. Pour this into a large mixing bowl. Spray with spritzer. Then add artichokes and black olives. Mix well. Makes about 6 servings (1.5 C each). Top each serving with approx 1 TBSP parmesan, or omit to save cals/sodium.
You could also replace the brats with chicken breast to lower the sodium and fat. (Cooking time does not account for actually cooking the brats, since these were leftovers.)
