Spaghetti with White Beans and Sage

Canned white beans work great in this dish…

1 can white beans, drained and rinsed, cannellini or great northern will do
Half of yesterdays baguette
Loose sausage, or links, separated and crumbled
Good olive oil
Fresh sage or thyme
Box of pasta, spaghetti works best
Sea Salt and pepper
2 Cloves garlic, smashed

This dish is so ridiculously simple and unbelievably delicious.
In a skillet, crumble the sausage and brown it, set aside
Make toasty rustic breadcrumbs from the baguette
Boil pasta
Tear the sage leaves into small pieces
When the pasta is done, drain it and put aside.
In the pot that the pasta just left, add a couple of tbls of olive oil and then the garlic.

Saute, but before the garlic starts to brown, add sausage, beans, and sage to warm through.
Add the pasta and toss lightly with half the breadcrumbs and more olive oil.
Serve in big pasta bowls, garnish with fresh sage, a drizzle of olive oil, and remaining breadcrumbs.
Sea Salt and pepper to taste.
Rustic and simple.
