Parmesan and freshly cracked pepper give these canned cannelini beans new life! These Parmesan beans are an easy and delicious side dish.

Ingredients

2 cloves garlic ($0.16)

2 Tbsp olive oil ($0.32)

2 15oz. cans Cannellini beans ($1.78)

1/2 cup vegetable broth (or chicken broth) ($0.09)

1/3 cup grated Parmesan ($0.59)

1/4 tsp Freshly cracked pepper ($0.03)

Instructions

1 Mince the garlic and add it to a large skillet with the olive oil. Sauté the garlic over medium heat for about one minute.

2 Drain, but do not rinse, the Cannellini beans. Add the beans and broth to the skillet with the garlic. Stir to combine.

3 Allow the beans to come up to a simmer. Simmer the beans, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes, or until they've thickened slightly. The spoon should leave a trail in the beans as you stir.

4 Add the Parmesan and pepper to the beans. Stir to combine. Taste the beans and adjust the Parmesan, pepper, or add salt if needed. Serve hot!
