We love avocado, but we also love BEANS! Cannellini beans have that certain je ne sais quoi with their delicious flavor and unique, almost creamy, texture. Here, Chef Laura combines the beans with baby Marzano tomatoes, Calabrian chilies and Over the Top Italian for the ultimate creamy-crunchy combination, all delivered on delicious sourdough.
