The first step is to soak the beans the night before you want to cook them.

Here are all the ingredients you need.

Olive oil, I use cold pressed virgin olive oil.

Onions and garlic.

Tomato paste and fresh tomatoes, I use organic tomato paste and I use frozen tomatoes from my garden. Herbs from the garden, like basil, laurel leaves and thyme. A little curry and salt and pepper.

First you make a sofritto from 1 onion, a few garlic knobs and the herbs. Do not fry it, just gently

sautee or sweat until a little softened then add 1 teaspoon curry, let it sweat for an other minute or two.

Add fresh or frozen tomatoes, tomato paste and cannelini beans. Add 1 cup of water and

stir, let the beans simmer until the beans are nice and soft. (Add more water if necessary. It has to be nice and creamy.

The finished product is delicious, can be reheated or frozen. Enjoy!
