Preparation
Heat oil in heavy large Dutch oven (I recommend the Le Creuset 7-1/2 Quart Round oven) over medium-high heat. Add sausages and saute until beginning to brown, breaking up with back of spoon, about 5 minutes. Add onions, carrots, celery, garlic, basil, rosemary, crushed red pepper and sage. Saute until vegetables begin to soften, about 10 minutes. Add broth, tomatoes with their juices, tomato paste and beans. Bring soup to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until vegetables are tender and flavors blend, about 20 minutes. Cook gnocchi in salted boiling water and add to soup during last 5 minutes of cooking.
