Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 onion chopped
  • 2 Tablespoon garlic finely chopped
  • 1 carrot peeled & chopped
  • 1 lb Johnsonville Mild Italian Sausage
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 -2 teaspoon red pepper flakes to taste
  • 2 15- ounce cans petite diced tomatoes
  • 3 - 4 cups chicken stock or vegetable stock
  • 1 can cannellini beans
  • 1 cup Barilla Mini Penne pasta or other small pasta
  • Parmesan cheese for serving

Method
 

  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large heavy pot over medium high heat. Add the diced onion and cook until it just begins to soften, about 2 minutes. Add carrots; cook, stirring frequently, for another 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook just until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  2. Add the sausage to the pot, crumbling as it cooks. Cook until the sausage is no longer pink. Stir in Italian seasoning and red pepper. Stir in tomatoes and stock.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes.
  4. Stir in the beans and mini penne. (Add an extra cup of stock or water at this point if it's boiled down too much.) Simmer for 6- 8 minutes or until pasta is tender.
  5. Serve piping hot with Parmesan cheese and green onions if desired.
