Use some leftover Bean Soup with Rosemary and Pancetta to make these grilled sausages. One pot of soup can go a long way and can help you make new meals from it.
4 Italian sausage links, 4 oz. each
1 T. olive oil
1/2 c. broccoli rabe pesto
2 c. cooked beans from the leftover Bean Soup with Rosemary and Pancetta and with 1 c. of the cooking liquid
Pesto:
1 1/2 c. raw broccoli rabe, roughly chopped and packed
1 t. chili flakes
1/4 garlic clove
3/4 c. olive oil
1 T. grated Parmesan cheese
salt, as desired
Put the broccoli rabe in a food processor; add chili flakes, garlic and olive oil; pulse until coarsely chopped. Stir in Parmesan cheese; season with salt, as desired.
To a small saucepan, add 2 T. pesto to 2 c. leftover beans, plus 1 c. cooking liquid; simmer over low heat.
Grill the Italian sausages for about 12-15 minutes, or until sausages reach 150 degrees using a meat thermometer.
Place the cooked sausage on a platter; top with the beans and the remaining pesto.
Serve immediately.
4 servings.
