Canellini are just white beans... bit thinner than navy beans, but about the same size.


Answers:

I'm not familiar with cannelini beans, but as a rule, 1 cup of dried beans will make about 2.5 cups of cooked beans.

You cook them with extra water, obviously. That is, you might use 4 to 7 cups of water when cooking them, but once you drain off the liquid, there's about 2.5 times as much as you started with.
