Don't use canned beans, it's just not the same and they are way too soft.
Dried beans can take a while to cook and the younger the grain the less it takes to cook - it varies quite a bit so you will have to keep an eye on it after 20min of cooking to make sure it won't overcook.
If you have a pressure cooker you don't even need to leave it soaking - 15 min counting when the pressure started and you are done.
As any very simple recipe, the quality of the ingredients will make a huge difference in the final result, make sure everything is fresh and that you have a good quality olive oil.
