Soak the radicchio
Place the radicchio in a large bowl, then pour cold water over it to fill. Set aside to soak while preparing and cooking the other ingredients.
1
Prep the pasta
Follow the instructions on the package, subtracting two minutes from the cooking time. Strain the pasta, reserving about 1/4 cup of the water. Rinse with cool water and set aside.
2
Brown the sausage
Heat oil, if using, in a large pot or high-walled pan over medium heat. Then, add the vegan sausage. Stir occasionally to brown the sausage on both sides.
3
Add the onion & garlic
Add the onions and stir occasionally until they are translucent. Add the garlic and stir for a few moments until it becomes aromatic.
4
Add the beans & pasta
Add the cannellini beans with their liquid, the nutritional yeast, and the red pepper flakes, then gently fold in the pasta. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 2 minutes.
5
Wilt the radicchio
Strain the radicchio and add it, along with the lemon juice, to the pan. Stir continuously until the radicchio is just wilted, then serve immediately.
