Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Italian sausage, casings removed
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Brown the sausage in a large skillet over medium heat. Break it up as it cooks. Drain off any excess grease.
- Add the chopped onion to the skillet with the sausage. Cook until the onion softens, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the diced tomatoes, rinsed white beans, chicken broth, oregano, and basil.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it cook for 10 minutes so the flavors blend.
- Taste the skillet and add salt and pepper as needed.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if you like.
Notes
- Use spicy Italian sausage if you prefer more heat.
- You can substitute cannellini beans with great northern beans.
- For a richer flavor, use white wine instead of half of the chicken broth.
- Stir in a handful of fresh spinach at the end until it wilts for extra greens.
