1
Prepare the Cannellini Beans
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the cannellini beans, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the beans are crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
2
Prepare the Bread
While the beans are cooking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the bread into 1/2-inch thick slices and place them on a baking sheet. Bake for 5-7 minutes or until golden and crispy.
3
Make the Gremolata
In a small bowl, combine chopped parsley and lemon zest. Mix well and set aside.
4
Assemble the Crostino
Spread a layer of pesto rosso on each toasted bread slice. Top with crispy cannellini beans, then sprinkle with gremolata. Finally, crumble ricotta salata over the top.
5
Serve
Serve immediately while the crostino is warm and enjoy!
