We can’t pitch the trio of cannellini beans, rosemary, and garlic as out-of-the-box; but when something’s this good (and easy and cheap), it doesn’t have to be cutting edge. Serve with Mediterranean- or Italian-style seafood, pork, or lamb. Braised Chicken with Sausage and Peppers, Broiled Lamb Chops with a Smoky Pipérade, Broiled Calamari, Shrimp Marinara, and Calamari Marinara all work. Tip: If you use canned beans, buy Progresso or Goya. They’re the cannelliniest.
