Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Remove casings from 12 oz Italian sausage links and crumble the sausage into the pot. Cook for 5-6 minutes until browned and cooked through, breaking up large pieces with a spoon.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 medium diced yellow onion and 3 minced garlic cloves to the pot. Sauté over medium heat for 4-5 minutes until the onion is translucent and garlic is fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 1 can (15 oz) drained and rinsed cannellini beans, 1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes, and 2 cups chicken broth. Add 1 tsp dried oregano, 1 tsp dried basil, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes. Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 20 minutes until slightly thickened.
  4. Step 4: Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley just before serving for brightness.
