Sausage, Bean and Pasta Stew image

Two secret ingredients do double-duty in this sausage stew: fire- roasted canned tomatoes boost the flavor and add smoky backbone, while a Parmesan rind-which you can get on its own in many supermarkets-adds a savory, just-slightly-cheesy note and tons of body.

Time 8h10m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 onion, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 carrots, finely chopped
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
8 ounces dried white beans, such as cannellini, rinsed and picked over
6 to 8 sprigs fresh thyme, tied with a piece of kitchen twine
1 pound sweet or hot Italian sausage links (4 to 6 links)
One 14.5-ounce can fire-roasted diced tomatoes
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth or stock
One 4 ounce chunk Parmesan rind, optional, plus grated Parmesan, for serving
1/2 cup ditalini pasta
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Crusty bread, for serving

Steps:

  • Spread the onions over the bottom of a 5 1/2- to 6-quart slow cooker and top with the carrots, garlic, white beans, thyme bundle and sausage links. Mix the diced tomatoes with the broth and 3 cups water and pour over the sausages. Add the Parmesan rind if using.
  • Cook on high for 4 to 5 hours or on low for 7 to 8 hours; the beans will be tender and begin to fall apart.
  • Uncover the slow cooker, remove and discard the thyme bundle and Parmesan rind and transfer the sausage links to a cutting board. Stir the pasta into the stew and continue to cook, covered, until the pasta is cooked through, about 20 minutes.
  • Turn off the heat. Cut the sausages into bite-size pieces and stir into the stew along with the parsley and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with grated Parmesan on the side for sprinkling on top and crusty bread for soaking up the broth.

This stew was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think it needed less chili powder. Other than that, it was a good stew. I would make it again, but I would adjust the amount of chili powder.

This stew was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning. I also found the pasta to be a bit overcooked. Other than that, it was a good stew. I would make it again, but I would adjust the seasoning and cooking time.
