In a large sauce pan or dutch over heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium high heat.
Add sausage and brown on all sides. You are not cooking through, just browning and releasing some of their juices.
Once browned, remove and set aside.
Lower heat to medium and add garlic and onion to the pan. Add more olive oil if needed.
Add herbs stirring until onion softens. About 2-3 minutes.
Add sausage and any juices back to the pan, as well as chicken broth, cook 2-3 minutes.
Add marinara, water and beans. Bring to a boil, then lower to simmer and add parmesan rind. Cook uncovered for 40 minutes.
Stir consistently to prevent beans and parmesan rind from stickling to pan.
Sauce will thicken and reduce down.
Serve topped with grated parmesan, parsley and a drizzle of olive oil.
