Italian White Bean Dip
This white bean dip made with creamy cannellini beans is what I like to call "Italian Hummus". It's the perfect appetizer or snack topped with jammy roasted cherry tomatoes and scooped up with garlicky slices of crostini.

Rinse and drain the tomatoes well then add them to a 9 x13 inch roasting dish. Toss together with the olive oil, rosemary, thyme and salt and roast for about ⏱️ 30 minutes giving them a shake half way. Your tomatoes are done once they have burst and released their juices and they start to get jammy as the sauce evaporates.
