I think spinach would be really good, or some artichoke hearts. One pot pastas are a favorite of mine. Once you get the basics down, you can really change them up.

Also, I chose low sodium versions of everything, and I made my own chicken broth (so I had full control over the salt). I realized after reading this that it seemed very salt laden.
