Ingredients

0.5 pound Italian pork sausage (bulk or casings removed)
2 clove garlic (minced)
0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 can canned cannellini beans (15 oz can, rinsed and drained)
2 cup chicken broth
2 cup baby spinach (packed)
1 teaspoon red wine vinegar

Instructions

Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 1/2 pound Italian pork sausage and cook for 5 minutes, breaking it into bite-sized pieces with a spoon until browned.
Add minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes; cook for 1 minute until aromatic.
Pour in 2 cups chicken broth and 1 can drained cannellini beans. Bring to a gentle simmer.
Simmer uncovered for 8 minutes, lightly mashing a spoonful of beans against the side of the pot to thicken the stew.
Stir in 2 cups baby spinach and 1 teaspoon red wine vinegar; cook for 2 minutes until spinach is fully wilted, then serve.

Notes

Mashing a small portion of the white beans creates a rich, rustic broth texture without using flour or heavy cream.
