IF MAKING AHEAD TO FREEZE
Put the onions, garlic, peppers, cannellini beans, smoked paprika, oregano, cream cheese, Parmesan and crumbled stock cube into a large freezer bag, mix together and freeze flat. Keep the sausages in their packet, or put in a smaller freezer bag, and freeze them alongside the bag of sauce...now select your cooking method.
