Fagioli all'uccelletto

Fagioli all'uccelletto is an italian dish originating from Tuscany. It's made with a combination of cannellini beans, sage leaves, garlic, extra virgin olive oil, tomato paste, and fresh pork sausages. The beans and sausages are simmered over a low flame, then served with bread on the side. The beans should become creamy, while the sausages shoudn't release their fat and flavor. Fagioli all'uccelletto are served in nearly every trattoria in Tuscany, either as a hearty side dish or a main course. The name of the dish refers to sage and garlic, which are typically used for little birds known as uccelletti.
