 *Reserve liquid

 Peel and crumble sausage.  Cook in a deep saucepan until it has changed
 color.  If using a lean sausage, you may need to add a tablespoon of olive
 oil to the pan.  Add the onions and garlic and sauté until the onions are
 transparent.  Add the wine and let simmer (not quite boiling) for a couple
 of minutes.  Then add the tomatoes, bring to a boil, lower the heat, and
 add all herbs (except the parsley), tomato paste, pepper flakes, and canned
 beans, and let simmer while the pasta is cooking.

 Cook the pasta al dente, drain, and stir into the bean mixture.  Toss in
 the parsley and stir again.  Add the Parmesan very gradually, and stir
 more.  Serve immediately.
