Equipment

  • Slow Cooker
  • Knife
  • Cutting Board

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound Italian sausage links, sliced into rounds
  • 2 cans (15 ounces each) white beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • Grated Parmesan cheese for serving

Instructions
 

  • Add the sliced Italian sausage, white beans, chopped onion, minced garlic, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper to the slow cooker.
  • Stir the ingredients gently to combine them evenly.
  • Cover and cook on low for 6 to 7 hours or on high for 3 to 4 hours until the sausage is cooked through and the beans are tender.
  • Stir in the fresh spinach during the last 10 minutes of cooking so it wilts into the stew.
  • Ladle the stew into bowls and top each serving with grated Parmesan cheese.

Notes

Stir the spinach in right at the end so it keeps its bright color and does not overcook. If the stew seems too thick after cooking, add a splash of extra broth to loosen it. Leftovers reheat well on the stovetop with a little added liquid to restore the broth consistency.
