Put 2 quarts of water in large pot with cleaned, soaked beans. Bring slowly to a boil. Cut onion in half and stick one half with the clove. Chop the other half and set aside. When the water reaches a boil, skim off any foam. Add the half onion with clove, 2 garlic cloves, half the sage and the bay leaf. Turn low and simmer for 1 hour 30 min until beans are tender but intact. Drain beans over a bowl and measure out 2 1/2 cups of the broth.
While beans are cooking, crumble and cook sausage (optional) until lightly browned. Drain fat and add olive oil to the pan with carrots, onion, celery and parsley. Cook about 5 minutes and add remaining garlic. Stir for about 1 min and add sausage, tomatoes, and remaining sage. Stir and simmer for about 10 min until tomatoes have cooked down.
Add vegetables to beans with the broth and bring to a simmer for 30 minutes.
You can serve with grated parmessan.
