Creamy Cannellini Beans and Tomatoes
As summer winds down and after-school activities begin, we could all use a bubbling skillet full of this comforting side dish—and don’t forget a loaf of crusty bread to dip into it! The secret to this recipe is a flavorful savory base of anchovies, garlic, and shallots sautéed in our Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Add our organic tomatoes and cannellini beans with a splash of heavy cream for richness, and finish with Fontina cheese, grated Parmigiano, and the last of summer’s fresh basil. Enjoy with a spoon, on its own, or dipped with crusty bread for a satisfying side to any meal.

- Add in the diced and strained tomatoes as well as the basil, let simmer, lowering the heat slightly. Add a small pinch of salt. After about 5 minutes, add the cream and let simmer for another 5 minutes, mixing occasionally and checking that the mixture has not overly reduced, if so add in a splash of water.
- Strain the beans into a mesh strainer and rinse with running water, then add them into the pan as well. Continue to simmer for another 5 minutes, mixing occasionally.
- Finally, add in the Fontina and Parmigiano and mix until fully melted. Taste and add salt if needed. Once ready, serve immediately with a slice of toasted crusty bread and enjoy!
