This sheet-pan meal from @theonlypodge combines savory, roasted fennel and rich, nutty Mayocoba beans, which come together in an unexpected way.

Tender yet firm Flageolet beans and crunchy chicories are the perfect palette for the juicy and bright floral dressing.

My friend Erin Stanley turned me on to cooking broccolini with some pasta cooking water until it is just about to fall apart. Swap pot liquor for pasta water and here we are.
