1
Prepare the Ingredients
Begin by washing the rapini thoroughly. Trim the ends and cut them into manageable pieces.
2
Cook the Pancetta
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and pancetta. Cook until the pancetta is crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
3
Add Garlic and Rapini
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Then, add the rapini and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 4-5 minutes until wilted.
4
Incorporate Beans and Season
Add the drained cannellini beans to the skillet. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine and let it cook for another 3-4 minutes until heated through.
5
Serve
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm as a main dish or a side.
