"Beans come in countless varieties, making them one of the most versatile and utilized staples worldwide. Canned beans take the overnight soak and hours long boil out of the equation, and the selection of canned beans at any grocery store is quite diverse. We've got over 20 recipes that start with a can of beans. And a simple, 3-ingredient pizza-inspired bean dish should be added to that list."
"While beans and pizza might sound like an unlikely duo, beans are a favorite ingredient in Italian cuisine, often combined with the same ingredients that make up a typical pizza recipe - tomato sauce, herbs, and cheese. In fact, we add white beans to pizza for a protein boost by turning them into pizza sauce. Pasta e fagioli contains tomato paste, fresh herbs, parmesan, and pancetta, all overlapping with the flavors and toppings you might top your pizza with."
Canned beans combine with tomato-based pasta or pizza sauce and shredded cheese to make a quick three-ingredient casserole. Empty two cans of beans into a dish, stir in a jar of sauce, top with generous shredded cheese, and bake at 350°F for about 20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly. Beans provide a savory, hearty, protein-rich base that pairs naturally with tomato, herbs, and cheese. White beans such as cannellini or butter beans work well and can be turned into a pizza-style sauce or added to pasta e fagioli. Toppings can include parmesan, ricotta, herbs, or other pizza additions for customization.
