Roasted Chicken Sausage and White Beans with Tomatoes

Roasting sausage in a healthy alternative to frying without losing the wonderful taste of the spices in the sausage. For a hearty healthy one dish meal I place fiber filled white beans in a baking dish, then add sausage topping with simmered tomatoes, shallots, garlic, olives, capers, herbs and anchovies. The anchovies are optional but these little fishes added a little zing to the tomato sauce. 

Roasted Sausage  and White Beans with Tomatoes

2 tablespoon olive oil

1 shallot, chopped

2 cloves garlic, chopped

1 can(14.5 oz.) Hunts diced Tomatoes, not salt added

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

1 tablespoon fresh basil, thinly chopped

1/2 cup chopped kalamata olives

2 tablespoon capers, chopped

2 oil-packed anchovy fillets, chopped (optional)

1 can(15.5 oz.) Goya Prime Premium White beans, rinsed 

1 pound Chicken sausage links

Preheat oven to 400F. In a sauce pan heat olive oil then add shallot and garlic, cooking until translucent, don't brown. Add tomatoes, oregano, pepper, basil, olives, capers and anchovy fillets. Simmer on low for 15 minutes. Place rinsed beans in baking dish then sausage and top with tomato sauce. Bake for 20-25 minutes.

Enjoy!
