Sauteed Cannellini With Spinach And Garlic

Total Time: 20 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 30 ounces cannellini beans (2 cans, drained but not rinsed)
• 1 onion (medium diced fine)
• 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
• 7 ounces frozen spinach (1 box bird eye or any brand)
• 2 teaspoons parsley (fresh and chopped fine)
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 tablespoons wine (or you can use chicken broth or just water to loosen up the sauce if too thick)
• olive oil, to drizzle as a garnish

Recipe

• 1 saute -- in a large pan, heat the oil. add the garlic, onion and red pepper and saute for 2-3 minutes on medium until slightly soft.
• 2 beans and spinach -- add the beans, seasoning and saute on medium high to high until cooked through, about 5 minutes. as they cook i like to take a fork and slightly mash the beans a bit to get a good consistency. i like to get them a little crisp and browned but not fried dark brown. just a light browning is good. add the spinach and break up as it cooks. if too dry you can use a little wine, chicken broth or just water to loosen the sauce if necessary. garnish with some good olive oil and ground pepper.
