White Bean Mash

A quick post of a quick study lunch.  Since I’m moving so soon, I’m trying to use up the contents of my cupboard.  A perfect lunch for a gloomy day, when all I really want is comfort food (and not to be studying).

Not the most balanced lunch, I know – but I have finals coming up so time is of the essence.  I usually eat this as a side, in place of mashed potatoes.  What do you pair with your White Bean Mash?
