Easy Italian Stew

This is our new Christmas Eve meal.  It's delicious, filling, and simple to make.  Enjoy!

2 Tbsp zesty Italian dressing
1 lb bulk Italian sausage
1 32 oz (or 2 cans) fat-free, reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 pkg (16 oz) frozen stir-fry vegetables (white onions and sliced green, red, and yellow peppers)
1 can (15 oz) cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (14 1/2 oz) Italian-style diced tomatoes, undrained
1 cup pasta noodles
1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
  1. Heat dressing in large saucepan on medium heat.  Add sausage; cook 8 to 10 minutes or until cooked through, stirring occasionally to break sausage into small pieces.
  2. Add broth, vegetables, beans, and tomatoes; bring to a boil.  Stir in macaroni.  Reduce heat to medium; simmer 8 to 10 minutes or until macaroni is tender, stirring occassionally.
  3. Ladle into 8 serving bowls.  Top evenly with cheese.
