== Ingredients ==
* 1 cup water
* 3 x 14 oz cans low-salt fat-free chicken broth
* 1½ cups orecchiette or gnocchi pasta shells
* 1 x 10 oz package frozen spinach, thawed
* 1 cup chopped, seeded tomato
* 3 tablespoons parmesan cheese
* ½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

== Directions ==
# Peeling tomatoes: cut out the stem; plop tomatoes into boiling water for about 1 minute; remove from water with a slotted spoon and immediately drop into a bowl of cold water and ice cubes (to stop the cooking process); peel should practically slide off easily with the help of a paring knife.
# Bring water and broth to a boil in a large dutch oven.
# Add pasta and spinach; cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 12 minutes or until pasta is tender.
# Stir in tomato.
# In a cup, combine 3 tbsp cheese, pepper, salt and egg, stir well.
# Slowly drizzle egg mixture into simmering soup; cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
# Ladle into soup bowls, sprinkle each serving with 1 teaspoon Parmesan cheese.
