3/4 pound Italian style sausage
1 medium red onion
3 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried sage
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 15 ounce can cannellini beans
1 10 ounce bag prewashed spinach
1 28 ounce can crushed tomatoes
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Remove the casings from the sausage. Chop the onion; mince the garlic. In a 12 inch nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil until hot. Crumble the sausage into the skillet and cook, breaking apart with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 8 minutes. Add the onion, garlic, sage and salt and pepper; cook, stirring as needed, until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Drain, then rinse the cannellini beans. Stir in the beans, the spinach, and crushed tomatoes into the sausage mixture; cook until the spinach is wilted, about 5 minutes. Keep warm.
