1 15-oz.. can(s) light red kidney beans, drained and rinsed

Steps:

1. With clean hands, mix fennel seeds evenly into sausage; brown on stove-top; drain well.
2. In 6-quart or larger crock-pot, combine browned meat and remaining ingredients, EXCEPT pasta. Cover; cook on low 10 hours, or high 5 hours.
3. One hour before end of cooking time, stir in dry pasta. Cover and continue cooking 1 more hour on high, until pasta is tender.
4. Serve with croutons and Parmesan on top each bowl. Note: 'If' you have any leftovers, you may want an extra can of broth on hand to add when reheating, as the pasta will have absorbed most the initial liquid while in storage.
