Cannellini Aglio e Olio will be your new favorite way to eat Cannellini Beans! With spicy Garlic Breadcrumbs, these beans are leveled up with tons of Italian flavors.


We love cannellini beans in my house and eat them almost weekly. As I was searching for a way to change things up, I thought of the classic Italian aglio e olio dish - it translates to garlic and oil.

It's a Roman dish that is famous for it's super simple and inexpensive ingredients. I love aglio e olio because I always have the ingredients on hand, so it's super easy to whip up.

Aglio e olio is typically made with spaghetti, but this dish gives it a twist with cannellini beans and garlicky breadcrumbs. Plus, the fresh basil is a burst of freshness to the dish. Everything comes together so nicely that you'll be making this recipe on repeat.

This super flavorful dish that is delicious as a side or on it's own.
