This delicious, hearty stew can be made in under half an hour and is perfect to indulge in during a chilly night. It's got browned chicken sausage, aromatics like mushrooms, onions, and garlic, and the canned tomatoes, cannellini beans, zucchini, and fresh rosemary help bring them all together. The peppery arugula and grated Parmesan cheese stirred in at the very end add lots of texture and color to the stew. For a quick salad to serve with the stew, toss a package of baby spinach with sliced mushrooms, halved cherry tomatoes, lemon juice, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to complete the meal.
