Best Salsiccie E Fagioli Sausage With Beans Recipes

ITALIAN SAUSAGES AND BEANS WITH SAGE (SALSICCIE CON FAGIOLI ALL'UCCELLETTO)

Steps:

• Place the dried beans in a large saucepan, cover with water, bring to a boil and simmer for about 45 minutes or until the beans are tender, skimming off the scum as needed.
• Drain the beans and reserve the cooking liquid.
• Heat 1/3 cup of the oil in a flameproof casserole or heavy-based saucepan.
• Add the sausages and cook over medium heat until brown on all sides.
• Add the tomatoes, garlic, sage, salt and pepper to taste, and stir well to mix.
• Bring to a boil, then add the beans and a few spoonfuls of the cooking liquid.
• Cover and simmer, stirring frequently, for 15 minutes- the consistency should be quite thick.
• Adjust the seasoning to taste.
• Just before serving, drizzle the remaining 1/3 cup olive oil over the dish and garnish with sage leaves.
• My notes: I substituted Coco Blanc fresh shell beans for the Cannellini; It took only~25 minutes for the beans I used to become tender; I merely chopped and drained the tomatoes; I used Hot Italian sausage; I added red pepper flakes; And I used 4 cloves garlic.

SALSICCIE E FAGIOLI: PORK AND BEANS

Steps:

• In a saucepan, heat the olive oil. Saute the garlic and add the sausages and rosemary. Cook for a few minutes, turning the sausages over. Pierce the sausages to allow the fat to drip out and flavor up the dish. Add the tomatoes to the pan. With the back of a wooden spoon, break up the tomatoes into little chunks. Add 1/2 a cup of water and allow to simmer. Then add the beans, salt, and pepper.
• Let cook together for about 15 minutes or until the sauce has reduced and thickened.

PASTA E FAGIOLI AL TENORE: TENOR'S PASTA AND BEANS

Steps:

• Place a large, heavy soup pot, over medium heat. Cook the sausage links with a small amount of water, covered, until the sausage has browned, about 10 minutes.
• Remove sausages to a plate and let cool. Once cooled chop into pieces and then use a food processor to finely ground the sausage pieces. Brown the bacon/pancetta in the same pot as used for the sausage links, using a little olive oil if necessary. When the bacon/pancetta is browned, not crisped, add back to the pot the chopped sausage and ground beef, and cook until both have browned, about 15 minutes.
• Next add the onions, celery, and garlic; cook 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Add the stock and skim (recommend use of a gravy separator) to remove excess fat. Continue to cook at a simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes.
• In a food processor, blend tomato sauce with 1 cup cannellini beans until smooth. Pour the mixture into the pot then add the remaining cannellini beans, kidney beans, tomatoes and herbs. After 5 minutes, add the pasta and simmer for 20 minutes.
• Add the orzo and carrots and simmer for an additional 10 minutes. Add more water or stock if necessary to produce a thick stew like consistency. Serve with grated Parmigiano and chopped basil.
