Equipment
- 1 skillet
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion - finely chopped
- 4-6 cloves garlic - minced I used 6 but I like things garlicky
- 3 cans cannellini beans - drained 15 oz sized cans, great northern beans also work
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 1 cup chicken bone broth can sub vegetable broth or reg chicken broth
- 1 cup fresh chopped basil

- 1 cup shredded/grated low moisture mozzarella
optional toppings and sides
- pinch red pepper flakes

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook for 5 minutes. Add in garlic and cook for another 3 minutes.
- Add all remaining ingredients to the pot except for the kale and mozzarella cheese. Stir to combine.
- Partially mash the beans using a potato masher or jar, I mashed maybe 25% of the beans.
- Bring to a gentle simmer, being careful not to let it boil, and cook for 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Turn heat to low and fold in the kale.
- Turn off heat and sprinkle over cheese. Add skillet to oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, until cheese is nice and melty. Top with red pepper flakes and olive oil if using and serve with bread.
