Time 9h45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 ½ cups dry cannellini beans
4 (6 ounce) Italian sausage links with garlic and fennel
1 cup chopped yellow onion
⅓ cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 bay leaf
6 cups water, or to taste
1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
4 cups chopped kale

6 tablespoons grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, or to taste
6 pinches red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Soak beans in cold water, 8 hours to overnight.
  • Drain beans and set aside.
  • Make a cut down the center of each sausage and peel off the casing. Transfer sausage into a dry soup pot over medium-high heat. Brown sausage, while breaking it up into small pieces with a wooden spoon, 5 to 7 minutes. Cook and stir until juices start to caramelize and stick to the bottom of the pan, creating a fond, 3 to 5 minutes.

  • Smash about 1/4 of the beans with a potato masher to give the stew a creamy texture if desired. Stir in chopped kale, increase heat to medium, and cook until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Taste and adjust salt.
  • Ladle hot soup into bowls, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and a pinch of red pepper flakes.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the casserole will taste. Look for fresh, flavorful vegetables, high-quality sausage, and a flavorful broth.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the vegetables will not cook evenly and the casserole will be too dry. Use a large pan or Dutch oven to ensure that there is plenty of space for the ingredients.
  • Cook the vegetables until they are tender: You want the vegetables to be tender, but not mushy. Cook them until they are just tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Brown the sausage well: Browning the sausage will add flavor and depth to the casserole. Cook the sausage over medium heat until it is browned on all sides.
  • Use a flavorful broth: The broth is an important part of the casserole, so use a flavorful one. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or beef broth.
  • Simmer the casserole until the flavors have melded: Simmer the casserole for at least 30 minutes, or until the flavors have melded and the casserole is heated through.
  • Serve the casserole with crusty bread or rice: The casserole can be served with a variety of side dishes, but crusty bread or rice are classic choices.

Conclusion:

Italian Three-Bean and Sausage Casserole is a hearty, flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its combination of beans, sausage, vegetables, and a flavorful broth, this casserole is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
