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
Instructions
- 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.
