Ingredients

• Pasta (such as ditalini) - 150 grams
• Kosher sausage (beef or turkey) - 200 grams, casings removed
• Canned diced tomatoes - 400 grams
• Canned cannellini beans - 240 grams, drained and rinsed
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Onion - 1 medium, diced
• Carrot - 1 medium, diced
• Celery - 1 stalk, diced
• Vegetable broth - 250 ml
• Fresh basil - 10 grams, chopped
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Grated kosher parmesan cheese - for serving (optional)

Steps

1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrot, and celery, and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened.
2. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
3. Push the vegetables to the side of the pot and add the kosher sausage. Break it apart with a wooden spoon, cooking until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Stir in the canned diced tomatoes and vegetable broth, bringing the mixture to a simmer.
5. Add the rinsed cannellini beans and let the sauce simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
6. Meanwhile, cook the pasta in a separate pot according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
7. Once the sauce has thickened slightly, season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in the chopped fresh basil.
8. Combine the cooked pasta with the sauce in the pot, stirring to coat the pasta evenly.
9. Serve hot, topped with grated kosher parmesan cheese if desired.
