CHEESY WHITE BEAN TOMATO BAKE

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

In a small oven safe skillet over medium-low heat, add 1 Tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon of garlic, and heaping 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning. Pan fry until garlic is golden brown, stir frequently. Turn off heat.

Add 1 Tablespoon tomato paste, 1/2 can tomatoes. Smash with potato masher, if desired.

Add a handful of spinach, 1/2 can drained white beans, and 1 Tablespoon of water. Add salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired. Stir. Add water if you'd like.

Sprinkle about 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella over bean and tomato mixture. Bake for 5-8 minutes, or until cheese is melted and tomato sauce is bubbling. Broil for 1-2 minutes if desired.

Transfer to bowl or enjoy straight from the pan. Serve with crusty bread.
