Description
A creamy, hearty dish celebrating rich Italian sausage, tender potatoes, and vibrant greens, swirled with pesto for a cozy meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Italian sausage
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 medium potatoes, diced
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1 can (15 oz) white beans (cannellini or Great Northern), drained and rinsed
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 cups kale or spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup pesto
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for cooking
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up into pieces as you go. Once cooked, remove the sausage from the pot and set it aside.
- Add your diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Then, add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, stirring until fragrant.
- Toss in the diced potatoes, canned diced tomatoes (with juice), sun-dried tomatoes, white beans, and broth. Bring this hearty mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer.
- Let it simmer until the potatoes are tender, roughly 15-20 minutes. You’ll want to poke them with a fork — they should easily give way.
- Stir in the chopped kale or spinach along with the cooked sausage, allowing it to simmer for an additional 5 minutes until the greens are tender.
- Season generously with salt and pepper to your liking, and serve hot. Don’t forget to drizzle each bowl with a swirl of pesto for the final cozy touch!
