Video

Serves 2 (big portions)

Ingredients

  • * 5 Italian sausages
  • * 2 tbsp olive oil
  • * 1 onion finely diced
  • * 2 garlic cloves
  • * 1 tsp fennel seeds
  • * Fresh chilli (optional)
  • * White bold beans @boldbeanco
  • * 1 tin chopped tomatoes
  • * 150ml chicken stock
  • * large handful of spinach
  • * parmesan, grated, to finish
  • * fresh basil leaves
  • * crusty bread, to serve


Method

1. Heat the olive oil in a wide, heavy based pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Sausage meat goes in, don’t break too much as you want to get integrity. Cook until browned and starting to crisp in places.

2. Add the onion along with the garlic, fennel seeds and chilli. Keep stirring.

3. Tip in the tomatoes and stock. Stir, scraping up anything stuck to the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook covered for 10-12 minutes, until the sauce has thickened. Once it has, add the beans.

4. Throw in your spinach and cook for 2 minutes until wilted. Add a lid if you’ve got one.

5. Finish with grated parmesan and torn basil leaves. Serve straight from the pan with the bread for dragging through the sauce.
