How To Make cannellini beans with escarole and spaghetti

  • 1
    Heat a large cast iron frying pan with olive oil; add the garlic and chili peppers to sauté on low. When the garlic is fragrant add the escarole and cover slightly. The escarole will cook down. Add the chicken broth, lemon juice, beans and seasonings and toss. Simmer on low heat while preparing the spaghetti. Lift the spaghetti into the escarole and toss. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and grated cheese.
