Cannellini beans are my new favorite food

I have a recipe for a cannellini bean dip that is ah-so good. It's like an Italian hummus. I recently used it as a spread on a wrap for DS. *LOVED* 

Then tonight, I wanted to make stuffed shells but didn't have a good binding agent for the meat (no ricotta or even egg in the house). The beans! It worked perfectly and because of the double protein DH and I got full faster, ate less shells and now have dinner for tomorrow. MUNCH!

  • I was introduced to them a few years back from Giada de Laurentiis. I can't stand how she pronounces "spaghetti" but I love her recipes!

  • LOVE LOVE LOVED these too!  They are the only beans DH and I will eat.  I was a vegetarian forever, until I got pregnant and suddenly beans and every other source of veggie protein made me sick so I gave in and ate chicken, but these were a staple before that!! I still can't look at them though, my pregnancy aversions did not go away when I gave birth!
