Pizza Beans

The Kitchn's viral TikTok high-fiber dinner — white beans and aromatics simmered in marinara sauce, topped with mozzarella and Parmesan, then broiled until ooey-gooey and browned. A comforting, crustless pizza-flavored weeknight meal served with garlic bread.

Prep10 minutes
Cook20 minutes
Serves4-6

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 5 ounces baby spinach
  • 2 cans cannellini or butter beans, drained
  • 2 1/2 cups marinara sauce
  • 8 ounces shredded low-moisture mozzarella
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves

Instructions

  1. Arrange a rack in the top third of the oven and heat the broiler.
  2. Heat olive oil in a medium broiler-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced onion and cook until softened and lightly golden, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the garlic and dried oregano and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the baby spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
  4. Add the drained beans and marinara sauce. Stir to combine and simmer for 5 minutes until the flavors meld.
  5. Remove from heat. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the top, then the grated Parmesan.
  6. Broil until the cheese is melted and browned in spots, 3 to 5 minutes. Watch carefully.
  7. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and red pepper flakes if desired. Serve hot with garlic bread.
