Yes, you read that correctly, this hearty stew comes together in just 15 minutes, thanks to the convenience of utilizing cooked chicken sausage and canned tomato sauce. It also features crimini mushrooms, zucchini, cannellini beans, and diced tomatoes. Fresh rosemary and peppery arugula add lots of color and texture to the final dish. If you want to plan ahead for an instant meal later in the week, this stew can be refrigerated up to 2 days, which will give the flavors a chance to develop; just keep in mind that it’s preferable to stir in the arugula before serving. Low-fat, multi-grain crackers make a good, crunchy accompaniment.
