  • 2 cans cannellini beans drained
  • 3 to 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • ¼ cup grated Pecorino Romano
  • ¼ to ⅓ cup shaved Parmesan cheese

Cooking Steps

  • In a large pan, warm 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook briefly, tossing regularly, until just golden.
  • Add the cannellini beans and ½ cup water. Season with kosher salt, black pepper, and the spices. Add the tomatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally until warmed through (about 10 minutes).
  • Stir in the parsley, cheese, and lemon juice.
  • Finish with a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Serve immediately with pita or your favorite crusty bread.

Notes

If you don't have cannellini beans, feel free to use another kind of white bean such as butter beans or great northern beans. Leftovers will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for about 4 days. To reheat, add the beans to a pan on the stovetop on medium heat, adding a small amount of water if needed.
