Beans and greens are a wonderful combination – the creamy white beans pair beautifully with tender spinach, then the dish is bound together with a rich cream sauce laced with dill Havarti and tangy lemon zest. Serve this dish with toasted crusty bread for dipping and sopping up every last bit of sauce. If you can’t find navy beans, use any small creamy white bean, such as cannellini or Great Northern.

Ingredients
Directions
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot, a good pinch of salt and several grinds of pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and continue to cook until tender and fragrant, about 1 minute more.
- Add a couple handfuls of spinach and cook, stirring frequently, until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Repeat, adding a couple handfuls of spinach at a time, until all the spinach has been added and is wilted and tender. Stir in the Havarti, cream, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper. Bring to a simmer, then continue to cook until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in the beans and lemon zest until well combined, then simmer until the beans have warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes more. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve immediately with toasted crusty bread for dipping.
