White Bean Stew
A few ingredients, 15 minutes and big flavor = Fabulous weeknight dinner!
Seriously, all you have to do is mince some garlic and open a couple of cans and waal-la you have an impressive meal. I love this recipe so much I usually double the ingredients so I can have leftovers throughout the week!
On nights that I'm just too tired this is one of my go-to recipes. It's warm, flavorful and filling. Sometimes I don't add the ham but I'll hear about it from my husband!
All you need to do is throw in some minced garlic, chop a big slice of ham, add the diced tomatoes and canneloni beans and your stew is almost complete!
Brush olive oil over sliced baguette roll and broil until lightly browned.
Right before serving you throw in baby spinach. The spinach will wilt in a matter of seconds!

- Three garlic cloves; minced
- 4 tbsp olive oil; divided
