Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 2 | cans garbanzo beans |
| 2 | tablespoons olive oil |
| 1 | sprig fresh rosemary |
| 4 | cloves garlic |
| 2 | teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes |
| 1/4 | cup tomato paste |
| 1/4 | cup low sodium chicken broth |
| 5 | spicy sausages |
| 8 | ounces pasta |
| 1 1/2 | cups romano cheese |
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Bean Puree: Start by straining the liquid from the canned garbanzo beans into a blender. Add 1 cup of the beans to the blender and puree until smooth. Set aside.
-
Sauté Sausages and Aromatics: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the spicy sausages, fresh rosemary sprig, minced garlic cloves, and crushed red pepper flakes. Sauté the ingredients until the sausages are cooked through, using a fork to break them up into smaller pieces, which takes about 8 minutes.
-
Incorporate Tomato Paste: Once the sausages are cooked, mix in the tomato paste, stirring well to combine with the other ingredients.
-
Add Remaining Ingredients: Pour in the bean puree (from step 1), along with the remaining whole garbanzo beans, low sodium chicken broth, and pasta. Stir the mixture well to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
-
Simmer: Allow the soup to simmer over medium-low heat until the pasta is tender and the mixture has thickened, stirring occasionally. This usually takes about 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
-
Finish with Cheese: Once the soup has reached the desired consistency, mix in 1/4 cup of romano cheese, stirring until melted and fully incorporated. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Serve: Ladle the Spicy Pasta, Bean, and Sausage Soup into bowls, garnishing each serving with a generous sprinkle of the remaining 1 1/4 cups of romano cheese. This soup is perfect for serving as a main course, accompanied by crusty bread or a simple side salad.
Yield: This recipe makes 4 to 6 servings, providing ample portions for a satisfying meal that’s both filling and flavorful.
