Steps:
- In a very large, deep skillet with a lid or a dutch oven, heat 1 tbsp. olive oil. Add onion and 1 tsp. garlic. Saute until onion is translucent. Be careful to not burn the garlic.
- Add crushed red pepper and rosemary if using. Stir.
- Add diced tomatoes and cannelini beans. Stir. Cover the pan, and reduce heat to simmer while cooking the fish.
- In a large saute pan on medium-high heat, add remaining tablespoon olive oil and the remaining teaspoon of garlic. Give it a good stir. When garlic is sizzling, add fish fillets to the pan.
- After a couple of minutes, lift the edge of the fish. When the fish is nice and brown, and beginning to become opaque white on the top, carefully turn the fish using a spatula.
- While fish cooks on the second side, add fresh spinach to the bean and tomato mixture. Give it a good stir, and replace the lid. Turn off the heat. Allow the spinach to wilt. Check for seasoning. Stir to combine.
- Squeeze the fresh lemon juice over the cooked fish fillets.
- Divide the cannelini bean, tomato, spinach mixture among 4 plates or large shallow bowls. You need a little bit of a lip to confine the juices.
- Top each with a fish fillet, and garnish with parsley and a wedge of lemon if desired.

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.

Steps:
- Melt butter in a medium pot over medium heat. Add pancetta; cook and stir until browned, about 3 minutes.
- Remove pancetta but leave grease in the pot. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Saute until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Pour in white wine and bring to a boil while scraping up any browned bits from the pot with a wooden spoon. Boil until reduced by half, 6 to 8 minutes.

Steps:
- Cover beans with water and soak overnight. Next day, drain beans, then place in a large saucepan with cold, lightly salted water to cover. Add celery, carrot, bay leaf and onion halves stuck with cloves. Bring to a boil, then simmer until beans are tender, about 30 to 40 minutes. Discard vegetables and let beans cool in their cooking liquid. In a sauté pan over medium heat, gently heat olive oil, add garlic and half the herbs and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes, being careful not to brown garlic. With a slotted spoon, add beans and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add about 1 1/2 cups of their cooking liquid. Stir in 1/2 of Pecorino Romano cheese and remaining herbs. Boil briskly for about 10 minutes until liquid reduces slightly to form a "sauce." If beans are tender before sauce thickens, remove them with a slotted spoon and continue boiling down liquid, then pour over beans. Add salt and pepper, if needed, to taste and transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. This recipe yields 6 servings.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Pat the fish dry and season with salt and pepper. Dust with flour and shake off the excess. Sauté the fillets in olive oil for one minute on each side. Be careful not to burn the roux that is being created in the bottom of your skillet, as you will be using this next. Lay the fillets in a single layer, overlapping slightly, and set aside in a baking dish.
- Add the butter to the pan and melt; sauté the garlic, being careful not to burn the butter and garlic. Add the wine and the chicken broth, and bring to a low boil. Once boiling, stir in the lemon juice, zest from 1 lemon, cannellini beans, and red pepper flakes.
- Top the fish with the cannellini bean mixture and bake for 10 -12 minutes.
- While fish and beans are baking, sauté spinach in the same pan until wilted. (I sauté a little garlic in butter and add a pinch of red pepper flakes before sautéing the spinach.)
- In a separate pot, bring the chicken broth to a a boil. Add salt to taste, zest from 1 lemon, red pepper flakes, and couscous. Cover with a lid, turn the heat off, and let sit till ready to serve. When ready to serve, fluff with fork. If needed, add more hot chicken broth.
- Plate the fish and bean mixture on top of the couscous and spinach and serve with lemon slices.
- YUMMY!

Tips:
- Choose the freshest tilapia fillets you can find. Look for fillets that are firm and have a mild, sweet smell. Avoid fillets that are slimy or have a strong fishy odor.
- Season the tilapia fillets generously with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance the natural flavor of the fish.
- Sear the tilapia fillets in a hot skillet until they are golden brown. This will create a crispy crust on the outside of the fish and help to keep the inside moist and flaky.
- Add the cannellini beans, tomatoes, and broth to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, or until the beans are heated through and the tomatoes are softened.
- Serve the tilapia and cannellini beans over rice or pasta. You can also garnish the dish with fresh herbs, such as basil or parsley.
