Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 pound Italian sausage links
• 2 carrots, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 2 bunches Swiss chard, leaves cut into 2-inch strips (about 12 cups)
• 2 15.5-ounce cans cannellini beans, rinsed
• kosher salt
• freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 400º F. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook, turning, until browned and cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

Add the carrots and garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute. Add the chard and cook until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the beans, 1⁄2 cup water, and 1⁄4 teaspoon each salt and pepper; bring to a boil. Nestle the sausages in the beans.

In a bowl, combine the bread crumbs and the remaining teaspoon of oil. Sprinkle over the sausage mixture. Transfer skillet to oven and bake until golden, 25 to 30 minutes.
