Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage leaves
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can diced tomatoes with juices
2 (15-ounce) cans cannellini beans, rinsed, drained
2 ounces prosciutto, coarsely chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 cups arugula or mixed baby greens

Directions

Heat the oil in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the sage and thyme. Add the tomatoes. Increase the heat to medium-high and simmer for 2 minutes. Add the beans. Simmer until the tomatoes are tender and the juices evaporate by half, about 5 minutes. Turn off heat and stir in the prosciutto, being careful not to overcook the prosciutto. Season the beans, to taste, with salt and pepper.

Arrange the arugula or mixed baby greens over a platter. Spoon the beans over the greens and serve.

Delicious and a Staple Side Dish
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is always a go-to last-minute side dish, because most of the ingredients are already in the pantry. Very flavorful and... so easy. It travels better if made with chickpeas - they don't get mushy.Read more

Simple yet excellent
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this for a family dinner and, have to say, it was a big hit. The kids loved it as well as the grownups. The only... thing I changed was I made a little balsamic vinagrette and tossed the arugula in it before plating it. The next time I make this I will make the tomato / beans ahead of time as they were even better the next day. Read more

Delicious! Loved it!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

For such a simple dish, this packs a LOT of flavor. Done in a flash, a great super easy side dish. I love that it's mostly... pantry ingredients that you will usually have on hand. I used dried herbs and it still tasted great! Like all of Giada's recipes....this one's a keeper!Read more

This quickly became one of my favorite, if not my very favorite, Giada recipes! The flavors are so fresh...definitely use... fresh herbs rather than dried...it makes a world of difference! I'm making this tonight for supper...yum!Read more

I cheated and used canned beans, but the flavor was great. This is a big winner!
