Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 links Italian sausage (mild or spicy, as preferred)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 15-ounce cans Canned white beans (such as cannellini beans), drained and rinsed
- 2 cups Chicken broth
- 1 14.5-ounce can Diced tomatoes, with juice
- 1 teaspoon Fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 1 loaf Crusty bread (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Add the Italian sausage links to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside. Once cooled slightly, slice the sausage into rounds.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
Stir in the canned white beans, chicken broth, diced tomatoes (with juice), rosemary, thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Return the sliced sausage to the skillet, ensuring it is evenly distributed among the beans and liquid.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let it cook for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or black pepper, if necessary.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve hot with crusty bread for dipping.
