This recipe is adapted from a recipe on the amazing Budget Bytes blog (link below). My husband always wants to add sausage to everything, but in this case it really worked! The sausage gives this dish a lot of flavor. You can use any kind of pasta, but we prefer elbow pasta or rotini, just to make it a bit easier to eat from a bowl on the couch ;)

Steps

1

Bring water to a boil and cook pasta according to directions on package. Drain.
2

Sauté the olive oil, butter, and garlic for a minute or two in a large pan or wok. Keep the heat on medium so that the garlic does not burn.
3

Open the sausage links and add the meat. Cook until almost completely browned, chopping up with your mixing spoon or spatula as you go.
4

Add tomatoes, salt, pepper, and basil. Sauté the tomatoes until the skins burst and they just begin to break down.
5

Add the spinach and sauté and about half-wilted (note that you may need to do this in two batches).
6

Drain and rinse the cannellini beans.
7

Add the beans and pasta to the pan and stir until everything is heated through. Toss with the Parmesan cheese and serve!
