Pasta is huge in our house, so I like finding recipes that bring in other nutrients. This is a great dish for adding lots of protein to your routine, as well as great spice from the sausage and onions. I also suggest this meal for a romantic date night with your significant other. The smells filling your home are wonderful, add some candles and relax.
• 16 ounces farfalle pasta
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• 1 small yellow onion, chopped
• 1 package (12 ounce) Sweet Italian Sausage, cut into 1/2 " slices
• 1/2 cup Merlot or dry red wine
• 1 can (14.5 ounce) diced tomatoes
• 1 can (15 ounce) cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
• sea salt
• ground pepper
• 2/3 cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese
Cook the pasta and drain. At the same time, heat the oil over medium heat in a skillet adding the onion and sausage. Cook until the onions are soft and sausage is browned. Add the wine and tomatoes and simmer for 5 minutes. Reduce the heat and add the beans, sage, salt and pepper, cover and cook until the beans are heated. Toss with the pasta and top with Parmesan.
