One of my favorite week night, hearty, healthy, warm and cozy meals. Its super simple and can be modified a few easy ways to expand into a main dish or a soup course:
One can Cannelloni beans
1 head Escarole, cut into large strips, rinsed
2 cloves garlic
1 shallot
2 cups chicken or veg stock
1/2 cup water
Red pepper flakes
Dried Oregano
Optional Additions:
Sausage - chicken or pork, spicy or sweet
Ditalini pasta
Brown sausage, remove from pan, add garlic and toast lightly
Add Escarole, stock, salt, pepper and cover for 10 mins
Cut sausage into bit sized pieces and add back to pan, with can of rinsed beans
Taste broth and S&P to taste and add Pasta if using
Serve with fresh parm and crusty bread
