This is a really simple recipe and a great way to cook fresh shellfish without over cooking it and enjoying its natural sweetness… Using Cannellini beans from a jar will give you a better result but if you use the tinned ones just make sure you rinse off the liquid in the tin before you add them to the reduced tomato sauce. Try this with a glass of Fiano di Avalino.

You might need to buy:
  • tomato passata or 1 tin of chopped italian tomatoes
  • 300g of cooked cannellini beans from a jar or a tin
  • chopped flat leaf parsley
  • tbls of olive oil

This is the best soup to warm you up. Its healthy, filling, vegetarian and very easy to prepare. The swiss chard adds an earthy sweetness to the soup and you can use the cooking water as stock. If you puree half of the soup you get a lovely creamy minestrone that has great texture and flavour. Serve with a drizzle of good olive oil on top. A glass of Chianti Classico would be a perfect match. Have a good week!

The recipe said to cook pork chops in the oven for 5 minutes, until they reached 145 degrees. It took a good 15 minutes. Think it might have been because I used bone-in chops. Husband loved the sauce, he kept dipping his meat into the sauce on the serving platter!
