Directions
Escarole and beans with sausage is a typical dish in Italian cuisine. Here I tossed it all with pasta, and loved the results! It turned out to be a winner with everyone in my home, even my picky kids. You can easily make it gluten-free and swap out the escarole for your favorite greens.,,When I make pasta dishes, I try to incorporate lots of lean protein and loads of veggies to keep the dish balanced with large enough portions that will keep me satisfied. If you wanted to switch this up with grains, this would be great with farro or barley as well.,Greens any leafy green vegetable can be used here, if you cant find escarole, kale or spinach will work fine.,Beans any white bean would be great here, try navy or northern beans in place of cannellini beans.,Brands of chicken sausage For the Italian chicken sausage, the two brands that taste best are Al Frescos uncooked Italian sweet chicken sausage or Premio Italian Chicken Sausage, look for sweet or hot.,Grains If you prefer to skip the pasta, you can make this with whole grains like farro, so good!
