Authentic Tuscan Fagioli all'Uccelletto Recipe
2 cups of cannellini beans (cooked)
3 tablespoons of olive oil
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 small bunch of fresh sage leaves
1 cup of tomato sauce (or crushed tomatoes)
Salt and pepper to taste
Heat the oil in a large pan, over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sage leaves, and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the tomato sauce: Pour in the tomato sauce and stir. Let it cook for about 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Add the beans: Stir in the cooked cannellini beans and mix well, making sure they are fully coated with the sauce.
Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and simmer the beans in the sauce for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Once the sauce has thickened and the beans are infused with flavor, remove from heat and serve hot.

Second attempt was better than the first, mostly because I finally did all the preparation before starting rather than as I went.
It looks like nothing on the plate and tastes like a lot.
I doubled it so we would have leftovers and there were none. Lesson learned.
It reheats badly in a microwave and beautifully in a pan. Learn from my mistake.
