Tuscan Style Pasta with White Beans

Pasta dishes are always a crowd pleaser.  This recipe uses whole wheat pasta, beans, and vegetables, which all increase the fiber.  Meals that are high in fiber are more diabetes friendly and heart healthy.  Make this meal even healthier by adding more veggies of your choice, like broccoli or spinach!

Ingredients
12 oz whole wheat pasta
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
5 large garlic cloves, minced
¼ lb curly escarole, sliced

1 can diced tomatoes, low sodium, not drained 
¼ cup 
fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced 


Optional: ⅔ cup dry white wine, ¼ tsp salt and black pepper 

Instructions
  1. Cook pasta according to the package directions.
  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
