ingredients:
• 1 lb italian sausage, casings removed
• 1 large shallot, diced
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 medium carrots, diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 1 tbsp italian seasoning blend
• ½ tsp red pepper flakes, optional
• salt and black pepper, to taste
• 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes
• 1 (15 oz) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 (15 oz) can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
• 6 cups chicken broth, plus more as needed
• 1 cup dry ditalini pasta
• grated parmesan, for serving
Add sausage to a large pot over medium heat. Cook for 6–8 minutes, breaking it into small pieces, until browned. Spoon out excess grease, leaving about 1 tbsp in the pot.
Add shallot, carrots, and celery. Cook for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute.
Stir in italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Add diced tomatoes with their juices and both cans of beans.
Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil. Stir in pasta, reduce to a gentle simmer, and cook uncovered until the pasta is tender, following the package timing. Stir frequently to keep it from sticking.
Taste and adjust seasoning. Add more broth if needed, then ladle into bowls and top with parmesan. enjoy!
the pasta will absorb broth as it sits, so add an extra splash when reheating!
