Time 10m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 (15 ounce) cannellini beans, drained
1/2 cup chicken stock
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup fresh parmesan cheese, grated
1 cup loosely packed fresh basil, plus
1 whole basil leaves, to garnish
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon ground pepper

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the beans, chicken stock and garlic.
  • Simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan.
  • Let the mixture cool for 10 minutes. In a food processor, blend the cooled mixture until smooth.
  • Chop the basil finely and stir into the mixture along with the lemon juice and the pepper.
  • Serve in a bowl, garnished with basil leaves.
  • If you prefer a chunkier version, simply don't puree the beans as long, or puree half the beans and mix in the remaining whole beans by hand.
