Recipe View Stir in the fresh oregano and basil. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Remove bay leaves before serving.

For a deeper flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the cumin.
Serve this ragu over creamy polenta, crusty bread, or your favorite pasta. A dollop of ricotta cheese or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese would also be delicious.
Feel free to substitute other beans, such as Great Northern or kidney beans, for the cannellini beans.
If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs. Use about 1 teaspoon of dried oregano and 1/2 teaspoon of dried basil.
