TUSCAN CANNELLINI BEANS
An amazing side dish to Italian meats--pairs especially well with porchetta. I have a hard time finding dry cannellinis, so this recipe calls for canned. But if you can find the dry, I'd roll with that.

BAKED CANNELLINI BEANS
My sister developed this baked cannellini beans recipe after a Christmas holiday. We were still all together but nobody wanted to go to the grocery store, so we made do with what we could find in the kitchen-it turned out delicious! This baked beans recipe would be great with a combination of beans, too (like half black beans and half white). -Debra Keil, Owasso, Oklahoma

TUSCAN SAUSAGE, SPINACH AND CANNELLINI BEANS
If you like spinach, you will like this easy, comfort food type casserole. The addition of the lemon and nutmeg helps give it a nice, fresh taste. It is important to squeeze as much liquid from the spinach as possible. I sometimes use a leftover croissant to make the breadcrumbs. This goes nicely with a Caesar salad.

BAKED CHIPOTLE CANNELLINI BEANS WITH SPINACH AND COTIJA CHEESE RECIPE
Provided by ClaudiaJan
Number Of Ingredients 10
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425F degrees. Bring the olive oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and minced garlic up to heat over a medium flame for about a minute. Stir in the tomatoes and the fresh oregano and bring to a gentle simmer. Off the heat, add the adobo sauce and taste. I added a little too much the first time I made this, so beware, adobo is powerful stuff. Salt and pepper to taste, but go easy on the salt, because I find that canned beans can be a touch salty. Add the beans and spinach, and stir to combine. Pour the mixture into a 9x13 baking pan and sprinkle with the cheese and breadcrumbs and bake in the top-third of the oven for roughly twenty-five minutes, or until it is browned and bubbly on top. Enjoy!
Tips:
- To save time, cook the cannellini beans in advance. You can cook them in a slow cooker or on the stovetop. If you're using a slow cooker, cook the beans on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-6 hours.
- If you don't have chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of chili powder and 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika.
- Use fresh spinach for the best flavor. If you only have frozen spinach, thaw it and squeeze out as much water as possible before using.
- Serve the baked chipotle cannellini beans with warm tortillas, rice, or your favorite side dish.
Conclusion:
This baked chipotle cannellini beans recipe is a delicious and easy way to enjoy this healthy and versatile legume. The beans are simmered in a flavorful sauce made with chipotle peppers, garlic, and cumin, then baked until tender. The addition of spinach and cotija cheese makes this dish a complete meal. Serve it with your favorite side dishes and enjoy!
