Ingredients

• 1 Tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 1 Small Yellow Onion (diced (~3/4 cup))
• 1 Pound Chicken Italian Sausage (casings removed (pork works too, chicken is just lower in fat))
• 3 Cloves Garlic (minced)
• 2 Cans Cannellini Beans (drained and rinsed)
• 24 Ounces Marinara (one jar of choice)
• 1 Tablespoon Oregano
• ½ Teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
• ½ Cup Parmesan Cheese (finely grated)
• 1-2 Handfuls Fresh Spinach
• ¾ Cup Mozzarella Cheese (shredded)
• Fresh Basil (chopped), according to taste
• Crusty Bread or Garlic Bread (not included in macros)

Method

1. Warm the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat and soften the diced onion for about 5 minutes.
2. Add the sausage, breaking it into small pieces with a masher as it cooks, until almost no pink remains, then stir in the garlic for 1 minute.
3. Stir in the cannellini beans, marinara, oregano and red pepper flakes, mashing some of the beans against the pan so the sauce thickens.
4. Fold in the Parmesan, then the spinach, stirring until the leaves wilt.
5. Heat the broiler, scatter the mozzarella over the top, and broil on the second-to-top rack for 4 to 6 minutes until golden and bubbling.
6. Top with the chopped basil and serve scooped into bowls with crusty or garlic bread alongside.
