  • 4 Servings

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (EVOO)
  • 1 pound bulk sweet sausage
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped
  • One 15.5-ounce can cannellini beans
  • 2 bunches escarole, coarsely shredded

  • One 32-ounce container (4 cups) chicken stock
  • 3/4 cup whole wheat penne pasta or ditalini pasta

  • Grated pecorino-romano cheese, for passing around the table

Directions:

  1. In a soup pot, heat the EVOO, 2 turns of the pan, over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Add the onion and cook until softened, about 2 minutes, then stir in the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the beans and escarole; season with salt, pepper and a little nutmeg.
