Italian Sausage Skillet

Sausage and onions are one of my husband Pete’s favorite meals, so I created a way to make it somewhat healthy (i.e. vegetables) with this Italian Sausage Skillet with cannellini beans, tomatoes, Italian sausage and spinach. Inspired by our recipe for Portuguese Sausage & Beans, this one-skillet dinner is low carb and faster to make. Some of my favorite meals to whip together on busy weekdays are always the ones that have just a handful of things that I can quickly pick up at the store, and this easy dinner just has five ingredients!

Hope this easy Italian-inspired meal becomes one of your regular favorites too.
