Drain and rinse the canned cannellini beans under cold water to remove excess salt and any canning liquid.
In a food processor, combine the cannellini beans, sun-dried tomatoes (with their oil), fresh rosemary, garlic cloves, and lemon juice.
Pulse the mixture a few times to start blending the ingredients.
With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil to achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
Add the sea salt and black pepper, and blend again to incorporate.
If the spread is too thick, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water and blend until you reach your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or lemon juice if necessary.
Transfer the spread to a serving bowl or container. Serve immediately with bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables, or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
