Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Italian sausages
- 400 grams Cannellini beans
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 6 pieces Fresh sage leaves
- 300 milliliters Tomato passata
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 100 milliliters Water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
Add the Italian sausages and cook until they are browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the sausages from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the garlic cloves and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant, making sure not to let them burn.
Add the fresh sage leaves to the pan and stir for 30 seconds to release their aroma.
Pour in the tomato passata and water, then stir to combine. Season with salt and black pepper.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Add the cannellini beans, stirring gently to coat them in the sauce.
Return the browned sausages to the pan, nestling them into the sauce and beans.
Cover the pan with a lid and let the dish simmer gently for 20 minutes, ensuring the sausages cook through and the flavors meld together.
Remove the lid and simmer for an additional 5 minutes to slightly thicken the sauce, if desired.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley (if using) and serve hot with crusty bread or polenta on the side.
