💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast provides a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Canola oil is less expensive while still suitable for sautéing.

Drizzle olive oil in a pan.

Add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute.

Add 2 cans of washed and drained white beans to the pan.

Pour in half a cup of water and set heat to medium.

Add seasonings: 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder, and 1 teaspoon Aleppo pepper.

Let the mixture cook for about 10 minutes covered.

After 10 minutes, remove the cover and add in chopped parsley, halved cherry tomatoes, and the juice of a small lemon.

Add 1/3 cup of pecorino Romano cheese on top and drizzle with a little more olive oil.

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until tomatoes soften and everything is well blended.

Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more water if it’s too lemony.
