Bud Spencer Beans

Method

1. Heat extra virgin olive oil in an iron pan and add two slices of prosciutto.
2. Add the sausage and cook until crumbled.
3. Add minced celery, carrot, and onion (soffritto) and sauté.
4. Deglaze with a splash of white wine from Lazio.
5. Add tomato and the pre-cooked borlotti beans.
6. Season with chili pepper, black pepper, and moderate salt (remember the prosciutto and sausage are already salty).
7. Add two bay leaves and a sprig of rosemary.
8. Cook until the beans are tender and the sauce has thickened.
9. Serve with a slice of rustic bread.
