Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons olive oil plus more for drizzling over the top
2 cups packed baby spinach (roughly chopped)
2 teaspoons minced garlic (about 2 medium garlic cloves)
1 lemon (medium size will do, zested and halved)
2 cups cooked cannellini beans (or 1 15-ounce can, drained)
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt or sea salt (plus more for sprinkling on top)
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Pour 2 tablespoons olive oil into In a medium saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the spinach, garlic, and lemon zest. Saute, stirring occasionally, until spinach is wilted, about 1 minute.
  • Add the beans, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and a couple turns of freshly ground black pepper. Mash beans with a fork until the consistency of (very) lumpy mashed potatoes.
  • Divide between two bowls (or just pile them into one bowl and keep them all to yourself). Squeeze a lemon half over each serving, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with a little more salt and pepper to taste. Serve at once.
