This flavor-rich dinner is a cinch to make, especially when you use white beans that you've already prepared.
Ingredients
- 4 Italian sausages
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 3/4 cup chicken broth
- 14-1/2-ounce can diced tomatoes
- 4 cups cooked white beans, thawed and drained, if using frozen
- 1 teaspoon sage
- 1 teaspoon parsley
- 2 cups baby spinach
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large skillet, sauté the sausages until they're cooked through, then slice them and set them aside.
- Heat the olive oil over medium heat and swirl to coat the cooking surface. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 4 minutes, then add the garlic and sauté for a minute. Add the sausage, chicken broth, and diced tomatoes. Mix in the cooked white beans, sage, and parsley. Bring the mixture to a boil, then simmer for 5 minutes.
- Add 2 cups of baby spinach and salt and pepper to taste. Cook until the spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes.

Tips:
Grind Your Own Meat: For maximum meat taste (and minimum mystery additives), start with boneless beef round, turkey breast, and pork loin. Cut the meat into 1-1/2-inch cubes and chill them on a baking sheet in the freezer until cold but not frozen, 20 to 30 minutes. Working with one type of meat at a time, pulse the cubes in a food processor until very finely chopped, about 10 times.
