This simple dish makes the perfect accompaniment to mild Italian pork sausage but is just as enjoyable served as a main with fresh country bread. Packed with the flavors of Tuscany, even though it's name implies these beans are "bird style", fagioli all'uccelletto is much more than food for the birds. While the time it takes to soak and cook the beans from scratch is worth the wait, if you're short on time you could use pre-cooked beans and you will still have a dish that's bright and satisfying.
