Step 1
In medium bowl, combine beans and cold water to cover by 2 inches.

Drain beans.
In medium saucepan over moderately high heat, combine beans, cold water to cover by 1 inch, 1 tablespoon salt, and 2 tablespoons olive oil.
Bring to boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, until tender, about 90 minutes.
Drain and set aside.
In large pot over moderately high heat, bring 6 cups salted water to boil.
Meanwhile, in medium saucepan over moderate heat, heat remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil until hot but not smoking.
Add sausage and sauté, breaking up with wooden spoon, until brown, about 6 minutes.
