I've decided my white beans and squash go best with white rice and some vegetable chow mein- all mixed together. I cook the rice and beans in a microwave at work- I just zap them about 5 minutes and let them sit in the ovenproof casserole, covered, cooking with the residual heat- and then zap them maybe 2 minutes more if everything isn't cooked yet. Then I add everything else. (Amazing what some onions, celery, and good ol' MSG can do for an otherwise bland dish.) The green of the chow mein, the white rice and beans, and deep orange squash look nice together too, even though how it looks usually isn't that important to me.
