James P says: Easy, and an instant hit with other family members. I used a mix of arugula and spinach and substituted sunflower seeds for half of the pine nuts. Delicious!
Theresa J Trybus says: This is delicious and easy to make. I used spinach and fresh tomatoes and omitted the pine nuts. The pine nuts are expensive.
JP910 says: This was delicious. I will make it part of my rotation. I left out the pine nuts (allergic son) and the lemon rind (because I was lazy), and still just perfect. Thank you!
Dan says: I followed the recipe as written. I also added about 1 cup of veg broth and a little less oil when cooking. Great dish.
Charlotte says: We loved the flavors! I didn’t have that many sundried tomatoes so I added slow roasted plum tomatoes to the mix. I also soak and cook my own beans (in instant pot) combined with homemade orichette probably bumped the total cooking time to about an hour. Actual cooking time of the recipe from start to finish only took 20 minutes. But now I have slow roasted plum tomatoes and white beans ready in the freezer for the next time I’m making this dish,
Carolina says: Loved it! Even my meat loving hubby enjoyed it!
Elizah says: Delicious and easy! I used fresh cherry tomatoes from my garden rather than the sun dried. I will definitely make this again.
Diana says: Delicious! I used spinach instead of arugula and cooked as written. This was my first use of pine nuts, and I was very pleased. I am making this again for dinner tonight.
julia Lo says: it will be inspired with video how to do it if i see the video I probably will love to try.
thank you,

Stevph says: This was very tasty even without the full amount of basil. I also left out the pine nuts and cheese. The lemon flavor was very good. I have no idea how anyone could make this in 20 minutes though. It took me about an hour.
Alyssa says: This recipe was simple and delicious. I will definitely make this again!
