2 cans cannellini beans, or 3 cups prepared white beans
2 quarts chicken stock
4 links spicy cooked chicken Italian sausage, sliced, recipe follows
1/2 cup Spinach Pesto, recipe follows
Garlic-Parmesan Crostini, recipe follows
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 spicy chicken Italian sausage
1/2 pound spinach leaves
5 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
1/2 cup toasted pine nuts
1 1/2 cups extra-virgin olive oil
3/4 cup grated Parmesan
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh white pepper
1/2 cup olive oil
1 French style baguette, cut into 24 (1/2-inch thick) slices
10 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup shaved Parmesan

Steps:

Heat the oil in a medium stock pot. Add the vegetables to the oil, stir frequently, and cook until lightly brown around the edges. Add remaining ingredients, except sausage, 1 at a time. Bring to a boil and simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Stir in sausage and allow to cook for 10 more minutes. Place in bowls, spoon 1 tablespoon of pesto and 1/4 to 1/2 cup of sausage into each bowl. Serve with Garlic-Parmesan Crostini.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Season the sausage with salt, to taste, and carefully place in a single layer across the skillet. Cook the sausage for 3 to 5 minutes over medium-high heat or until browned. Turn the sausages and repeat on opposite side. Remove from heat and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Slice into 1/4-inch slices.
Combine all ingredients in a food processor and puree until smooth.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Heat the oil in a small skillet. Add the garlic and cook for 5 minutes or until garlic begins to brown. Remove from heat. Brush the garlic oil on the top and bottom of each slice of bread. Place the bread in a single layer over a sheet pan. Sprinkle each slice with parmesan. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes on the middle oven rack until bread browns over the top. Serve.
