How to make Italian Sausage and Cannellini Bean Cassoulet:
1. Heat a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the Premio Sweet Italian Sausage; stir until the sausage has browned lightly, about 7 to 11 minutes.
2. Add the onions, carrots, celery and parsley. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add the remaining garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
3. Add the tomatoes, sage, beans and broth, and continue cooking for 30 minutes. If you are able to get your hands on a Parmesan rind, throw it in while it is simmering. Adjust the seasoning as desired with salt and pepper. Serve over polenta, and be sure to have plenty of freshly grated Parmesan on hand.
