Quick Catfish Minestrone

1 tablespoon canola oil
1 pound U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish fillets, cut into 1-in pieces
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
One 32-oz carton creamy tomato soup*
One 6-oz bag prewashed baby spinach (about 4 packed cups)
1 cup dried rotini pasta
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
 
1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
2. Add the catfish, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 3 minutes.
3. Stir in the tomato soup and spinach. (It may seem like a lot of spinach, but it will quickly cook down.) Bring to boil.
4. Add the rotini and cook at a low boil, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until pasta is done (15 to 20 minutes).
5. Serve in individual bowls and top with Parmesan cheese.
 
Notes:

*Trader Joe's, Whole Foods and Imagine Natural all make delicious, all-natural creamy tomato soups in 32-ounce cartons.
