Ingredients:
- 300 g of farfalle pasta or other shape
- 1 tbsp. l. olive oil
- Half a medium onion, chopped, about 1 cup
- 3 cloves garlic, crushed

Preparation:
- Cook the pasta according to package directions.
- In a large, deep skillet or 8-quart saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another 1 minute.
- Stir in the sausage and cook until browned, about 4 minutes. Add the escarole and cook until completely wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Add the beans, 1 cup chicken broth, sage, and red pepper flakes and cook until heated through and the liquid has evaporated slightly. Add the sausage-bean mixture to the pasta and stir well, thinning with an additional 1/2 cup chicken broth if needed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
