So easy and the flavors really meld well. I'll make this again! (10/2/06 - I keep forgetting how easy this is. Really satisfying, quick and surprisingly light.)

Simple great-tasting middle-of-the-week dish that will wait for you. We enjoyed this dish with Multi-Grain and More Bread Multi-Grain and More Bread (Bread Machine). Thanks Lorac for posting this keeper recipe. We will definitely be having this often.

Carol, you have a winner in this one! The flavors of the herbs combined with the sausage brought out the best of the canned beans (I used cannellini). This is a hearty, and filling dish with plenty of flavor. Thanks for sharing this tasty recipe that is now in my t&t cookbook. :-)
