1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes*
1 clove garlic
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves
1 (14.5-ounce) cannellini beans
juice of one lemon (about 3 T)
1 T olive oil

Tips
Mix this puree into your favorite pasta sauce for a higher-protein, almost-fat-free cream sauce.
Or use less water and use in place of ricotta cheese in lasagna or stuffed pastas.
