Not a week goes by in which guests on our tours don't beg for the recipe for the "beans they had at Madonna delle Macchie". So we sat down with Serena's mom and got her to write down the recipe for us. Here it is!

Check out our Wine & Cooking Under the Tuscan & Umbrian Sun and come to Italy to visit Serena's family olive oil mill and try the delicious borlotti beans!

This is a super easy recipe for you to make at home, follow these instructions and share with us your results @travelcdv
