Italian Beans and Greens - featuring Ivo's tips and special recipe

canned beans

🥗Healthier: dried beans

💰Cheaper: canned lentils

Dried beans are more nutritious and can be more cost-effective.

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast is lower in calories and offers a cheesy flavor.

Add EVOO & garlic to a medium size pot, cook for 60 seconds.

Add escarole to your pot, and sauté until all wilted and soft, about 5 minutes.

Add chicken broth, beans, Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, salt and pepper. Stir together and bring to a boil.

Once it comes to a boil, then lower heat to low, and simmer for 5 – 10 minutes.

Serve hot and sprinkle grated parmigiano cheese to taste.
