Italian Beans and Greens
I make this recipe for Italian beans and greens almost weekly since it's so satisfying and easy to make. Hearty greens get cooked down with plenty of olive oil, garlic and big white beans and served with rustic crusty bread. This is my easy take on a classic Italian dish that's ready in under 30 minutes!
