4
ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1⁄2 lb Italian turkey sausage, casing removed
- 1 red onion, minced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried basil leaves, crumbled
- salt, to taste (use seasoned salt if you like)
- black pepper, to taste
- 1 1 bunch spinach or 1 bunch kale
- 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
- 1 (15 ounce) can white beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese (optional)
directions
- In a stockpot or large nonstick skillet, heat the oil.
- Crumble the sausage into the skillet, and cook, breaking apart with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 8 minutes. (NOTE: If you're using kielbasa, just saute briefly until it browns).
- Add the onion, garlic, basil, salt, and pepper, stirring as needed, until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in the broccoli rabe, tomatoes and beans; cook until the broccoli rabe is wilted, about five minutes. (If you're using fresh spinach, it will wilt! I promise.
- Just cover it with the bean and sausage mixture and let it cook for about 5 minutes).
- Top with cheese if desired and serve.

I don't understand the negative reviews. Paired with a fresh baguette, this is a delicious stew, that is perfect for a simple, clean meal, that is ready to eat within an hour of walking in the door. I used about 10 oz of fresh spinach and about 8 oz of arugula. I also added about two teaspoons of herbs de Provence and a few dashes of cayenne. Not a recipe thats lights off fireworks, but a definite 5 stars for a cold evening. A definite keeper on my never-fail list of recipes.

This recipe helped me learn that I don't like broccoli rabe. It was on sale at the store and I decided to try it. It gave the whole dish a bitter taste, I would have rather used spinach. The dish was ok, but the tomatoes overwhelm everything else- it is a very plain tomato taste. We didn't keep the leftovers. I made this with kielbasa but it would have been better with italian sausage. I suggest adding some red pepper and italian seasonings or else use pre-seasoned tomatoes or perhaps marinara sauce instead of crushed.

I love to cook! I also love to take complicated recipes and make them simpler. Who wouldn't like to have fewer pans to wash?
