Tuscan Bean Spread


1 can of cannellini beans, rinsed and drained       

1-2 cloves of roasted garlic
1 big handful of fresh basil
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
Red pepper flakes to taste

Smash the beans and mix all together. Or run it through a blender or food processor. Get a nice think paste them add good quality extra virgin olive oil to thin down to a consistency you like.

This is great on veggies, crostini, bruschetta, pita chips, etc. Top with diced tomato, roasted red pepper, sundried tomato and anchovy, etc....

You can use other flavor profiles to make any bean spread you desire.
