In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.
Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the diced tomatoes, white beans, chicken broth, oregano, and basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Bring the stew to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 25-30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
If using, stir in the fresh spinach and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until wilted.
Ladle the stew into bowls and top with grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve hot.

For a spicier version, use hot Italian sausage.
This stew tastes even better the next day after the flavors have developed more.
Can be frozen for up to 3 months.
