About

This vegetarian and hearty bowl has all the flavors of beautiful Tuscany, tasty and comforting at the same time. A warm stew of white beans, spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes is served over herb-scented farro, soaking up all the savory goodness with plenty of grated Parmesan on top. A pistachio-spinach salad freshens the plate, and a spoonful of gremolata on the side adds that final Tuscan touch—zesty, herby, and full of life.
