Ingredients

2 pounds spicy Portuguese sausage, sliced

1 pound ham hocks

1 onion, sliced

2 quarts water

2 carrots, diced

3 potatoes, diced

1 small head cabbage, chopped

1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce

2 (15 ounce) cans kidney beans

1 (16 ounce) package macaroni

Directions

In a large pot over low heat, combine the sausage, ham hocks, onion, and water. Cover and let it simmer for about an hour.

Remove the ham hocks from the pot; discard the bone but keep the meat. Tear the ham into small pieces and return it to the pot. Stir in the carrots, potatoes, cabbage, and tomato sauce until well mixed. Cover again and let it cook for 1 to 1.5 hours.

Add the beans and pasta along with more water if needed. Cook until the pasta is tender but still firm, and the ingredients are heated through, about 10 minutes.
