Directions

1. In a large skillet with lid, heat oil over medium heat, and add garlic. Sauté garlic until golden brown, about 2 minutes.

3. Remove sausages and slice into 1-inch pieces. Add ½ cup reserved bean cooking liquid, tomatoes and juice, and sage.
4. Simmer for 5 minutes. Add beans and 1 cup water. Cover skillet and simmer until sausages are tender and cooked through, adding water in ¼ cup increments if mixture gets dry, about 30 minutes. If you like a thicker sauce, uncover and simmer a few additional minutes until sauce thickens
