Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 12 ounces sweet bulk Italian sausage
  • 1 stalk celery, diced
  • 1/2 yellow onion, chopped
  • 3/4 cup dry elbow macaroni
  • 1/4 cup tomato paste
  • 3 cups chicken broth, or more as needed, divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 (15 ounce) can cannellini (white kidney) beans, drained
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, plus additional for serving, or to taste
Instructions
1
Acquire the necessary components for preparation.
2
Heat a substantial amount of oil in a large skillet over a medium-high thermal setting. Sear and stir the sausage in the scorching hot skillet until it reaches a browned and crumbly state, approximately 5 minutes. Decrease the thermal setting to medium. Introduce diced celery and chopped onion into the skillet. Allow the onions to become translucent, taking around 4 to 5 minutes. Add dry pasta; stir and cook for a brief period of 2 minutes.
3
Combine the tomato paste with the ingredients, ensuring an even distribution, approximately 2 to 3 minutes. Introduce 3 cups of liquid into the skillet; increase the thermal setting to high and bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Incorporate red pepper flakes, oregano, salt, and pepper into the skillet; reduce the thermal setting to medium and allow it to simmer, stirring frequently, for around 5 minutes. Add additional liquid if necessary.
4
Submerge chopped chard in a bowl; cover it with cold water and rinse the leaves, allowing any impurities to settle at the bottom of the bowl. Transfer the chard to a colander for a brief period of time; add it to the soup. Cook and stir until the leaves wilt, approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
5
Combine the white beans with the ingredients; continue cooking and stirring until the pasta is tender, approximately 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in grated cheese. Serve the dish topped with additional grated cheese.
