Ingredients
- 340 g rotini pasta uncooked
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 340 g fresh chicken sausage or turkey sausage, 12 oz (casings removed)
- ½ tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes adjust to your preferences
- ¼ teaspoon salt or to taste, if needed
- 1 recipe Hidden Veggie Pasta Sauce OR 25 oz / 1 bottle of pre-made marinara sauce
- 1 can cannellini beans 15 ounce can (rinsed and drained)
- 4 sprigs fresh rosemary chopped
- ⅔ cup sliced kalamata olives
- 3 roasted sweet red peppers sliced
- 1 cup chicken stock optional (or vegetable stock or water)
- 4 green onions thinly sliced

Instructions
- Prepare the pasta according to package directions. Drain and place in a large bowl. Set aside.
- While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add garlic, and cook and stir for 30 seconds just to soften.
- Add sausage and red pepper flakes. Cook the sausage for 10 - 12 minutes or until completely cooked, while stirring to break it up. Taste and season with salt if needed.
- Stir in marinara sauce, cannellini beans and rosemary. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and bring to a simmer. Stir in olives and red peppers. Add stock or water if mixture seems dry. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes or until heated through.
- Add the sauce to pasta and toss to combine. Sprinkle with green onions. Finish with parsley and parmesan cheese, as desired.
