Directions
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Pierce each potato several times with a fork. Microwave on HIGH for 8 to 10 min. or until fork tender. Meanwhile, blanch rapini in a saucepan of boiling water for 2 min. Drain, rinse under cold water and spread on paper towel to dry.
-
Combine beans, milk, salt, pepper and garlic in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until mixture is smooth. Cut each potato in half lengthwise. Scoop the flesh into the food processor (keeping the skins intact) and add butter; pulse just until smooth and well combined. Gently stir in rapini, pine nuts and raisins.
-
Divide potato mixture evenly between potato shells and top each filled potato with an equal amount of Parmesan cheese. Bake for 15 min. or until heated through.
