  • 1 garlic clove, smashed and roughly chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 plum tomato, chopped (This is optional, mostly for color)

Cannelini Beans with Rosemary

Directions

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat
  • Add the smashed garlic and red pepper flakes, cook 1 minute.
  • Add chopped tomato (if using) and fresh chopped rosemary and cook 2 minutes.
  • Add drained & rinsed cannellini beans and cook, 5 minutes.
  • Add chicken broth as needed as the beans cook, so beans are not dried out and sticking to the skillet. (Chicken Broth adds a depth of flavor and salt)
  • Broth should be partially absorbed by the beans as it cooks down.
  • Season with salt (if needed).
  • Sprinkle with Parmesan (optional) and drizzle with olive oil.
