- Beans
2 cans white beans (undrained)
1 tablespoon fresh oregano (chopped)

Directions
- Starting the Base – In a large soup pot, heat some extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook until browned (about 5-7 minutes).
- Building Flavors – Toss in the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot and sauté until the onion becomes translucent (approximately 5 minutes).
- Adding Bulk – Stir in the undrained white beans, pour in the chicken broth and chopped fresh oregano. Allow the mixture to simmer gently to combine the flavors (about 10 minutes).
- Finishing Touches – Mix in the tomato sauce and continue to simmer the soup while you cook the cavatappi pasta separately according to package instructions until al dente; drain and rinse under cold water.
- Combining All – Before serving, stir the cooked cavatappi into the soup. Serve hot.
