Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp (15 mL) canola oil
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (28 oz/796 mL) crushed tomatoes
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
  • 1/2 tsp (2 mL) pepper
  • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) chili flakes
  • 2 cups (500 mL) cooked Great Northern beans (see notes)
  • 4 cups (224 g) fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) low sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) grated mozzarella cheese
  • fresh basil or parsley leaves, for garnish
  • toasted sourdough bread, to serve

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Place a large oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add oil, onion, and garlic and cook until onion is softened, 3-4 minutes.
  • Add tomatoes, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper and chili flakes. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
  • Add beans, spinach and broth. Stir to combine and cook until spinach is wilted, and liquid has reduced, about 5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and bake in preheated oven until cheese is golden and bubbling, about 10 minutes.
  • Top with fresh basil. To serve, scoop cheesy beans with toasted bread.

Notes

  • If you don't have time to cook Great Northern beans from dry, you can use another canned white bean like cannellini or white kidney beans instead. A 19 oz (540 mL) can drained and rinsed will yield 2 cups (500 mL) of cooked beans.
