1 cup diced onion
1/2 cup diced celery
1 medium carrot, peeled and diced
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
Pinch red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans, undrained

3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, plus additional for serving

Steps:

  • Cook the sausage in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until brown, stirring to crumble. Drain most of the fat, leaving about a tablespoon of fat in the skillet with the sausage. Add diced onion and the next 6 ingredients (onion through salt), and cook for 8 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Place meat mixture in an electric slow cooker; stir in beans, tomatoes, tomato paste, and red wine. Cover with lid, and cook on low heat setting for 4 hours. After 4 hours, add pasta to slow cooker and stir until all pasta is submerged in liquid; turn heat to high and cook for 15 - 20 minutes or until pasta is al dente. Stir in 3 tablespoons chopped parsley. Scoop into bowls and top with additional fresh parsley if desired. NOTE: The chili can be made on the stovetop if you don't have a slow cooker.
