Ingredients

2 1/2 lb. sweet Italian sausage links

3 pints cherry tomatoes

1 medium-large onion, cut in 11/2-in. chunks

4 large garlic cloves, sliced

3 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

1 1/2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar

2 tsp. dried thyme

3 bay leaves

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

3 cans (about 16 oz. each) white beans, undrained

Preparation

Adjust oven rack to lowest position and heat oven to 425 degrees. Combine all ingredients except the beans in a large, heavy roasting pan. Set pan in oven and roast until sausages are brown and tomatoes have reduced to a thick sauce, about 45 minutes.

Remove from oven, stir in beans and roast until mixture has heated through, at least 10 minutes. Discard bay leaves and serve.
