Fagioli all'uccelletto | Tuscan Bean Stew with Salsicce | Easy Homemade Italian Recipe

cannellini beans

🥗Healthier: navy beans

💰Cheaper: pinto beans

Navy beans are lower in calories while maintaining a similar texture.

Italian sausage

🥗Healthier: turkey sausage

💰Cheaper: ground beef

Turkey sausage reduces fat content, while ground beef is often more affordable.

Soak 500 grams of dry cannellini beans in water for about 12 hours.

Cook the soaked cannellini beans in water for about 1 to 2 hours until soft, adding rock salt and no other salt.

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan.

Smash 2 garlic cloves and add them to the oil.

Chop 1/2 chili roughly and add it to the pan along with sage.

Cook until the sauce turns brown or golden, about 2 to 4 minutes.

Add 500 grams of San Marzano tomato sauce to the pan and cook for 5 minutes.

Add the cooked cannellini beans to the pan, along with a little water from boiling the beans if needed.

Simmer for an additional 20 minutes to allow the beans to absorb the sauce flavors.
