Introduction
A comforting, rustic Italian one-pan dish featuring browned Italian sausages, creamy white beans, and fresh tender greens simmered together in a savory, aromatic chicken broth. Finished with grated cheese, it delivers a hearty and flavorful weeknight dinner in under half an hour.
Step 1
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil, then add the mild Italian sausages.
Step 2
Prick the sausages all over with a sharp knife before they start cooking to allow fat and juices to render into the pan. Brown and cook through, then remove and slice.
Step 3
In the same pan with rendered sausage drippings, add diced onions along with a generous pinch of salt, cooking until softened.
Step 4
Season the onions with freshly ground black pepper, red chili flakes, dried oregano, and minced garlic; cook briefly until fragrant.
Step 5
Carefully pour in 4 cups of chicken broth, then add the drained (unrinsed) white beans.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Pricking the sausages allows flavorful fat and juices to render into the skillet, creating a flavorful base for the vegetables and broth.
Drain the canned beans but do not rinse them, as residual starches help thicken the broth naturally.
A generous amount of good-quality olive oil is essential to carrying the rustic flavors of this dish.
