Linguine with Sausage and Cannellini Beans
Linguine with Sausage and Cannellini Beans is one of those recipes that is easy enough for a weeknight or special occasion.
I think this is the first recipe I ever made up on my own. Tonight, I dug it out to remake it, update it, and take some pics, and I’m so glad I did.
I made this when I catered my grandmother’s 85th birthday, and she’s now 93. So this was an unexpectedly nostalgic little experience this evening. And yummy.
Linguine with Sausage and Cannellini Beans
Linguine with Sausage and Cannellini Beans is one of those recipes that is easy enough for a weeknight or special occasion.
Ingredients
- 1 lb Italian pork sausage links
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes drained
- pinch red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp freshly cracked pepper
- ½ cup half and half
- ¼ cup Italian parsley chopped
- ½ cup fresh grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- 1 (15.5 oz) can cannellini beans drained and rinsed
- ½ lb linguine
Instructions
- Bring a pot of water to boil. Boil the sausages in the water 2-3 minutes. Remove the sausage from the water and transfer to a cutting board. Leave the pot of water boiling for the pasta. When the sausages are cool enough to handle, slice them into 1/2-in slices.
- Cook the pasta according to package directions in the same pot of water, to al dente. Drain.
- While pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned. Add the drained tomatoes and a pinch of salt. Toss, then cook, stirring occasionally, 3-4 minutes. Add red pepper flakes, pepper, parsley, and cream. Cook, stirring frequently, until the cream is just slightly thickened.
- Remove from heat, add the cheese and beans, and mix well. Taste for seasoning (at least 1/2 t salt). Toss with the pasta. Serves 4-6.
