Note

Use canned white beans such as cannellini or great northern beans, rinsed and drained.

Roasted red peppers from a jar work well, but you can also roast fresh peppers for a deeper flavor.

Spinach, kale, or Swiss chard are all excellent greens to use in this dish.

For added richness, you can add a splash of nutritional yeast or a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently with a splash of water or broth.
