A delightful and quick dish combining creamy cannellini beans with a flavorful herb sauce.
Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot but not smoking to avoid burning the ingredients.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the saucepan and sauté until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning, which can make it bitter.
Stir in the drained cannellini beans and cook until heated through.
Ensure the beans are well-drained to avoid excess liquid in the dish.
Mix in the pesto sauce and chopped parsley, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
Taste the dish before adding salt, as the pesto may already contain some.
Serve warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
Pair with crusty bread or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
