😋 Here’s a fast & easy one-pot entree that tastes even better the next day. Serve it with a salad or sprouted grain bread (or both). Yum!
The nutritional yeast (you can find it at most grocery stores) helps give a “cheesy” flavor to this Italian-inspired bean dish.
SPICY ITALIAN BEANS
(Makes 4 servings)
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- Sea salt
- 1 15 oz (425 g) can tomato sauce
- 2 15 oz (425 g) cans cannellini beans
- ½ cup fresh parsley
- 2 Tbsp (or more) nutritional yeast
In a medium pot over medium heat, heat the oil. Add the garlic, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt and sauté for about 1 minute, until the garlic starts to soften but not burn. Pour in the tomato sauce and ½ cup (120 ml) of water
Stir and reduce the heat to low, allowing the sauce to simmer for 10-15 minutes.
Rinse and drain the beans and stir into the sauce, and allow to warm for 5-10 minutes. Stir in the parsley and nutritional yeast and continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
