- Half onion (red or golden)
- 9 oz cherry tomatoes

Preparation of Cannellini Beans and Cherry Tomatoes
Drain the cannellini beans from the liquid in which they are preserved and rinse them well under running water.
Wash the cherry tomatoes and cut them into pieces.
In a pan, heat a couple of tablespoons of oil and sauté the finely chopped onion.
Let it sizzle for a moment, then add the cherry tomatoes and cannellini beans.
Season with a generous pinch of salt, a grind of black pepper, and a generous sprinkle of dried tomato powder (you can find the recipe link to prepare it above the list of ingredients).
Cook on high heat, gently stirring from time to time for 3/4 minutes. Just before the end of cooking, scent with some basil leaves broken with your hands.
The cannellini beans and cherry tomatoes are ready right away. They are excellent both hot and at room temperature. A dish of embarrassing simplicity, but you will taste how appetizing it is! Enjoy! Paola
