Equipment

  • 1 Stove Top
  • 1 Skillet

Ingredients

  • 5 Mild Italian Sausage Links
  • 1 Fennel Bulb sliced thin
  • 2 Garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 2 cups Grape Tomatoes
  • 30 ounces Cannellini Beans drained
  • 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Basil
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Parsley
  • ¼ cup Pecorino Romano Cheese grated

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, add 1 cup of water and the Italian sausage links. Place lid on top and cook for 10 minutes on medium-high heat. Then add in the thinly sliced fennel.
  • Cook for an additional 5 minutes until the internal temperature of the sausage has reached 165°F.
  • Remove the lid off the skillet, add the garlic and tomatoes and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  • Add the drained beans, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well, reduce heat to medium-low and cook for an additional 10 minutes with the lid on.
  • Mix in the fresh basil, parsley, and pecorino romano cheese. Divide evenly among plates. Enjoy immediately. 

Notes

  • Spice it up - Like it spicy? Try using Hot Italian Sausage instead of Mild.
  • Sausage - You can use chicken sausage or vegan sausage instead of pork sausage for this recipe.
  • Canned Beans - This recipe requires 2 cans of cannelini beans, drained.
  • Fresh Beans - You can replace fresh cooked beans instead of the canned beans. Just note that the dish might need additional seasoning.
