Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic sliced
- 1 shallot diced
- 2 tablespoon double concentrate tomato paste
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes halved
- 1 cup water
- 2 15oz cans of cannellini beans drained and rinsed
- 1 cup low moisture shredded mozzarella
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano
Instructions
- Sauté garlic and shallot. Warm olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Add the garlic and shallots and cook until fragrant and starting to soften - about 3-5 minutes.
- Add tomato paste. Add the tomato paste, salt, and pepper to the cooked shallots and garlic. Cook until it deepens in color ever so slightly, 1-2 minutes.
- Add the tomatoes. Add the halved cherry tomatoes, cook until they start to soften and release liquid, about 5 minutes.
- Add the water. Add the water to the tomatoes and bring to a low simmer over medium-high heat.
- Add the beans. Once simmering, add the beans and cook for 5 minutes.
- Top with cheese. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over top of the beans and broil at 500°F for 4-5 minutes until deeply golden brown. Finish with fresh oregano and a drizzle of EVOO if desired.
