Mutti’s Butterbean Bake: Method
- Preheat your oven grill to high, heat the oil in a 25cm skillet or ovenproof frying pan, over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 5-7 minutes or until softened. Add the Mutti tomato paste and cook for a further 1-2 minutes or until caramelised.
- Add the butterbeans and stir to coat in the tomato paste. Add the Mutti Sugo Semplice, Worcestershire sauce and spinach leaves to the pan. Stir until the spinach wilts. Add the cream, season with salt and pepper and stir to combine.
- Sprinkle over the mozzarella and place until the grill for 3-5 minutes or until golden and bubbling. Serve immediately alongside some crusty bread.
