This is one of the most economical and versatile dishes around: you can serve it as an appetizer with crusty bruschetta, as a side dish, or on top of pasta or rice for a main meal. Garlic and olive oil make it ultra heart-healthy, rosemary adds piquant flavor, and beans offer silken texture, protein, and fiber. It’s also super-fast to make.
INGREDIENTS
1/8 cup olive oil
1 clove garlic, crushed
2 cups cooked large white beans
2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped, or 2 teaspoons dried
Freshly-grated Parmesan, to taste (optional)
1. In a heavy-bottomed skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until garlic is fragrant and softened, just a couple of minutes. Do not allow garlic to brown. Add beans and rosemary and continue to cook, stirring, until heated through.
2. Sprinkle with cheese, if desired, and serve alone or on cooked pasta or rice, adding more olive oil if needed.
Serves 4.

Healthy recipe. Thanks.
Sounds good.
YUM! So easy and fast and nutritious! Anyone wondering about going veggie can try this and know it's not a sentence of no flavored foods or
cutting vegetables for hours.
That recipe sounds lovely, I will try it.
will try this, definitely!
Great article as well as a the perfect solution for some cans of white beans!
Thank you for sharing!
This can also be pureed and served as a dip (with a grain, it becomes a complete protein for vegans too).
Thank you for this perfect answer to the two cans of white beans that have been sitting on my counter all week...I'm sure that soaking and cooking dry beans is best but this will work for me at the end of a really busy week!!!
