Step-by-step photos can be seen below the recipe card.

Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet set over medium heat.
⅓ cup olive oil
Add the sage and sliced garlic. Shake the pan so the garlic doesn’t stick, but don’t stir it because the garlic might clump.
¼ cup chopped fresh sage leaves, 4 cloves garlic
Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the garlic turns very light gold and the sage darkens a bit.
Add the tomatoes and salt. Simmer, stirring often, until the tomatoes are shiny and their juices have evaporated; 8-10 minutes.
28 ounces diced tomatoes, 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Add the pepper, sugar, and chicken broth, stirring often, and bring the broth to a boil.
½ teaspoon ground black pepper, 1 teaspoon granulated sugar, 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
Reduce heat to low, add the beans, simmer (stirring often) until the liquid has evaporated, 18-20 minutes.
32 ounces cannellini beans
Remove the beans/tomatoes from the heat and stir in the parsley. Season, if needed, with more salt and pepper.
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley leaves
Serve with extra olive oil for drizzling and a sprinkle of crispy bacon (optional).
Cooked bacon crumbles
