SAUSAGE, BEAN AND PASTA STEW
Two secret ingredients do double-duty in this sausage stew: fire- roasted canned tomatoes boost the flavor and add smoky backbone, while a Parmesan rind-which you can get on its own in many supermarkets-adds a savory, just-slightly-cheesy note and tons of body.

Steps:
- Spread the onions over the bottom of a 5 1/2- to 6-quart slow cooker and top with the carrots, garlic, white beans, thyme bundle and sausage links. Mix the diced tomatoes with the broth and 3 cups water and pour over the sausages. Add the Parmesan rind if using.
- Cook on high for 4 to 5 hours or on low for 7 to 8 hours; the beans will be tender and begin to fall apart.
- Uncover the slow cooker, remove and discard the thyme bundle and Parmesan rind and transfer the sausage links to a cutting board. Stir the pasta into the stew and continue to cook, covered, until the pasta is cooked through, about 20 minutes.
- Turn off the heat. Cut the sausages into bite-size pieces and stir into the stew along with the parsley and vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with grated Parmesan on the side for sprinkling on top and crusty bread for soaking up the broth.

Steps:
- Fry the onion and celery in the oil over a low heat until it starts to soften and cook, about 5 mins, then spoon it into the slow cooker. Fry the carrots briefly and add them too.
- Brown the sausages all over in the same frying pan - make sure they get a really good colour because they won't get any browner in the slow cooker. Transfer to the slow cooker and add the sweet potato and tomatoes.
- Put the purée in the frying pan and add 250ml boiling water, swirl everything around to pick up every last bit of flavour, and tip the lot into the slow cooker. Add the herbs, stock cube and some pepper. Don't add salt until the casserole is cooked as the stock can be quite salty. Cook on high for 4 hrs or on low for 8 hrs, then serve or leave to cool and freeze.

Tips:
- Use a variety of beans. This will give your stew a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include kidney beans, black beans, pinto beans, and chickpeas.
- Don't overcook the sausage. Otherwise, it will become tough and dry. Cook it just until it is browned on all sides.
- Use a good quality pasta. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the stew. Look for a pasta that is made with durum wheat and has a good texture.
- Add vegetables to your stew. This will make it more nutritious and flavorful. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes.
- Season your stew to taste. This means adding salt, pepper, and other spices to your liking. You can also add a bit of acidity, such as lemon juice or vinegar, to brighten up the flavor.
Conclusion:
This slow cooker sausage, bean, and pasta stew is a hearty and flavorful meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this stew a try.
