Place the remaining olive oil, spinach mixture, cannelloni beans, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper in the bowl of a food processor.

Blend until the mixture is smooth. Transfer to a small serving bowl. Serve with endive spears, crostini or pita chips.

    DELICIOUS !! And so healthy!!
    Easy to make, however I did not follow the directions for the prep.
    I saw Giada prepare this on TV. She used bagged spinach, right from the bag into food processor,along with garlic cloves, and the rest of the ingredients. She did not pre-cook anything.
    So, I did the same. Make sure to purée till smooth, then scoop up with the endive or pita chips.
    Simple & delicious !!
