ROTINI PASTA WITH SAUSAGE AND CANNELLINI BEANS
This is total comfort food at it's best! You can sub the rotini pasta for medium shells but rotini is better. This recipe is made with roasted garlic, so if you are planning to make this wonderful dish, roast your garlic bulb way in advance or even a day ahead and refrigerate, I roast my garlic and store it in the freezer in small containers. You can use turkey sausage for this in place of Italian sausage.... This is a fantastic Italian-style dish. Cooking time does not include roasting the garlic.

CAMPANELLE PASTA WITH SAUSAGE AND BEANS
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Cut off and discard top of garlic head to expose cloves, then wrap head in foil and roast in middle of oven until cloves are tender, about 45 minutes. Open foil carefully and cool to warm. Squeeze garlic from skins into a small bowl, then mash to a paste with a fork.
- Heat oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then cook sausage, stirring and breaking up large pieces, until browned, about 4 minutes. Add sliced garlic, shallot, and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring occasionally, until shallot is pale golden, about 2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes, beans, garlic paste, and stock and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened and reduced by half, 15 to 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook pasta in a 6- to 8-quart pot of boiling salted water until al dente, then drain in a colander. Toss pasta with sausage mixture, parsley, basil, cheese, and salt to taste in a large bowl (or in pasta pot) until combined well. Serve with additional cheese, if desired.
Tips:
- To save time, use pre-cooked sausage or Italian sausage links that have been browned and crumbled.
- If you don't have cannellini beans on hand, you can substitute other white beans, such as Great Northern beans or navy beans.
- Add a handful of chopped fresh parsley or basil to the pasta before serving for an extra boost of flavor.
- Serve the pasta with a side of crusty bread or garlic bread for a complete meal.
