Lemony Greens and Beans
This Italian-style Beans and Greens recipe is one of those reliable dinners I turn to when I want something healthy, satisfying, and fast—no oven required. Canned cannellini beans are simmered in a garlicky broth with a touch of crushed red pepper for warmth, then finished with spinach, Tuscan (lacinato) kale, and a bright squeeze of lemon. The result is a creamy, textured stew that’s high in fiber and protein, especially if you use bone broth. Serve it as a meatless main, a hearty side, or add a little shredded Parmesan and crusty bread for an extra-special meal.
