Dice the onion and sauté it in the pan after the sausage until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic pressed through a garlic press and sauté for another minute. Add the tomato paste and marjoram, stirring for 2 minutes.
In a large pot, add the cooked beans, sautéed onion with garlic, sausage, and bacon bits. Pour in the tomato passata and half a cup of bean broth. Add sugar, sweet paprika, and mix well.
Sauté the beans over low heat, covered, for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally. The sauce should thicken and coat the beans. If it is too thick, add a little broth.
At the end of cooking, season the beans with salt and pepper to taste. Taste and add more sugar if needed to balance the acidity of the tomatoes. Serve hot with bread.
