Ingredients

4 spicy Italian chicken sausage (casings removed, can sub pork sausage)

3-4 spinach (handfuls)

1 can cannellini beans (drained and rinsed)

1 1/2 cup marinara sauce (or vodka sauce)

¼ cup water

½ tsp garlic powder

½ tsp onion powder

½ tsp paprika

½ tsp cumin

½ tsp curry powder

cayenne pepper (to taste)

salt (to taste)

toasted bread (optional, for serving)

Greek yogurt (optional, for serving)

Instructions

Heat a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the ground sausage. Cook while breaking up for about 5 minutes until no longer pink. Remove the sausage from the pan and set aside.

Sauté the diced onion in the leftover sausage fat for 4-5 minutes or until slightly browned and fragrant.

Stir in the marinara sauce, water, and spices, then cook for about 2 minutes.

Add beans, cooked sausage, and spinach. Bring to a simmer then cover with a lid to cook for 5-6 minutes.

Remove the lid and stir. If it is still quite watery, cook uncovered for another few minutes to remove the moisture.

Serve with toasted bread and a dollop of plain Greek yogurt.
