One of my favorite things about coming to Italy is discovering authentic Italian dishes. Since we bought our home 4 years ago, I have learned so many and this is one of my favorites… Tuscan Sausage and Beans. It is called Fagioli all’uccelletto and it couldn't be easier to prepare. It is comfort food at its best.
