| 3 | T Olive Oil |
| 2 | lbs Sausage, Chicken Italian, cut into 1" pieces |
| 4 | heads Escarole, cut crosswise into 3" lengths |
| 1/2 | t Red Pepper Flakes, crushed |
| 1/4 | c Garlic, crushed (10 cloves!) |
| 3/4 | c Kalamata Olives, pitted, halved |
| 30 | oz White Beans (2 Cans Cannellini Beans), drained and rinsed |

- Heat olive oil at medium heat in large, deep oven-proof saute pan.
- Add sausage and red pepper flakes and cook until sausage is nearly cooked and lightly brown on all sides (8-10 minutes).
- If pan is crowded, cook sausage (and later greens) in batches.
- Add escarole and garlic and stir until greens are reduced but still crunchy and green (8-10 minutes).
- Preheat Oven Broiler
- Add beans, olives, pine nuts and capers, stirring until heated (2 minutes).
- Stir in cheese, salt and pepper.
- Sprinkle bread crumbs over the top of pan.
- Place under broiler until golden brown (2 minutes).
- Serve and enjoy
- NOTES on changes I have made. The original recipe had 1,364 calories per serving (B rating). It called for 1 cup of Pine nuts and 1 cup of Olives. You could probably reduce the amount of sausage as well. I'm not sure if the recipe analysis is for regular or chicken sausage.
