Recipe Tip
Iron Intake
Cannellini beans are a source of iron. Mix beans with pasta for a complete protein and plenty of iron. Iron helps build red blood cells to carry oxygen through the body.

Mixed 2 recipies
I mixed this with the Italian Turkey and White Beans recipie, and had a delicious, healthy, perfectly blended 1 dish meal that was fast and easy to make! It doesn't get any better than that!

Eh
Eh....not the best. Loved the beans but not enough sauce over all and although I love carrots they added a strange flavor to this meal that almost didn't mesh.

great meal
This came out really good. My husband and 7 year old both really liked it, eventhough my husband wishes it had meat. But the kidney beans add a nice texture and taste in place of no meat. I ended up using regular red kidney beans and it was good.

This recipe was deliciou! I did leave out the artichokes because none of us are overly fond of them. I would recommend a flavored pasta sauce.
