My family loved this. It tasted really good and was low in calories. I tried some of the other commentors' suggestions and they really added to it.

I have made this when I can find escarole and it is very good. A bean and escarole dish should taste like beans and escarole. If you don't like beans and escarole don't make this dish.

Unfortunately, we didn't like this so much. It really didn't have much flavor - it just tasted like beans and escarole. I shouldn't have been surprised given so few ingredients, but I did add red pepper and some parmesan cheese and it was still pretty bland, although the red pepper did help. Usually we take leftovers to work, but we threw this out.

This is so delicious!! I did make a few changes though. I used a generous amount of olive oil and four cloves of garlic first in the pan, and sauteed for a few minutes. Then I added the escarole and let it wilt a bit, then added the tomatoes and beans with some crushed red pepper, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt & pepper. I let it all simmer about 15-20 minutes. I will definitely be making this again, maybe next time adding some sliced mushrooms too. Thanks for the recipe, this is wonderful (:

Made this for dinner tonight, as I wanted something high in fiber, but delicious... and it delivered! I used whole wheat penne to add more fiber, and like other reviewers, added a couple sprinkles of red pepper flakes just because I like a little extra heat, and this was delicious. Will definitely make again!

I subbed fresh spinach for escarole, and I rinsed and drained the beans and subbed 2 ladles of pasta water, I figured this would reduce the sodium! The kids liked it, even brought leftovers to school for lunch!

This recipe gets 4 stars for being easy and healthy. It tasted pretty good for everyday, but not a "company" meal. I didn't have escarole on hand, so I used frozen chopped spinach instead, added extra garlic, and we also sprinkled with parmesan cheese. I don't know if the flavor would have been better with escarole, but the spinach was good.

I was skeptical of this at first. But I was looking for a meatless dinner option during Lent and tried this. It surprised me! Definately sautee some minced garlic in olive oil before adding the other ingredients. I also stir in some grated parmesean cheese to the whole thing before serving. Even better the next day (after all of the flavors have a chance to blend!)

This recipe is quick, easy and satisfying, all the things that I look for in a recipe. I like a little kick to my meals, so instead of salt and black pepper to taste, I added crushed red pepper. Just the thing on a cold winter day.

I didnt like this at all. I thought that there was hardly any real flavor, the textures were weird and the escarole a bit too bitter. I will not make this again.

A great healthy meal. I added about 6 chicken tenders cut into bite size pieces because this dish was all I served. My grocer did not have escarole, so I subbed fresh spinach. I served this on Friday night before a trip to the movies and called it "dinner in a bowl". The kids thought it was weird to eat beans with pasta, but they liked it. I used whole grain pasta, and combined with the beans this is a high fiber hearty meal. Thanks!

YUM YUM YUM! I added an extra can of tomatoes (the kind with garlic, oregano and basil) and then about half a cup of "no chicken" broth and this was delicious! I will definitely make this again and again.

Yum! Again good, easy, quick and cheap! I used spinach instead of escarole, only because the store near my house was out, and it still turned out great.

This was an easy, delicious, light meal. Definitely saute 3 cloves of garlic in the oil before adding the other ingredients. Spinach would also work in this dish and meat could be added if you like.

Good recipe, and healthy too. Like some other reviewers, I added onion, garlic, and 1/2 tomato along with some chili powder and cayenne pepper. Sauce was a bit too watery, I would advise draining the beans before sauteing. Overall, tasty and filling.

This recipes is good, except it calls for way too much pasta - this is why most reviewers may have called it bland. I only used about 8 ounces, vs. the 16 in the recipe, and the pasta to veggie ratio was still way too high. I also took other reviewers suggestions and added sauted garlic, onion and red pepper flakes. I would make it again with less pasta.
