Cannellini Beans and Spinach
Posted on 08 March 2009
I caught the tale end of an Italian cooking show on PBS that was using cannellini beans. The recipe itself looked fantastic but I couldn’t recall it and I ended up watching Molto Mario later and got confused on the recipes. Here is what I pieced together for myself.

Recipe type: Sidedish
Author:
Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 15 mins
Total time: 25 mins
Serves: 2
A delicious, unique, and simple sidedish.
Ingredients
- 1 can of Cannellini beans
- 1 strip of bacon
- 1 small yellow onion or half of a medium onion
- 1/2 minced garlic clove
- 1 handful of baby spinach
- 2 tsp of olive oil
- 1 tbsp of chicken/vegetable broth
Instructions
- Fry the bacon up in a pan, pull it out and put in the minced onion.
- Let it cook a bit and then add in the garlic followed by the beans that have been rinsed.
- Drizzle in olive oil and broth followed by the spinach.
- Stir it around until the spinach is wilted.
- Chop up the bacon, add it to the pan and season.
- I think parsley would be good, but I didn’t have any, went with a generic Italian season mix which lacked the oomph I wanted.
- I salted the dish after I served it up because I’m really trying to monitor my sodium intake and couldn’t figure out just what the bacon was going to do.
Overall it tasted wonderful.
