Ingredients
Method
- Heat oil in a high-sided large skillet or frying pan over medium heat. When the pan is hot, add the shallot and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until the shallot is softened about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the sundried tomatoes and baby tomatoes. Stir and cook for a couple of minutes, about 2-3.
- Add the minced garlic, dried oregano, chili flakes, salt and pepper and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the milk and broth to deglaze the pan, scraping the bottom to release any browned bits. Bring to a low simmer and once simmering, add in the rinsed beans. Reduce heat to medium-low and cover the pan partially with a lid. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beans are just tender and a creamy sauce has developed. OPTIONAL: If you prefer more brothy beans, add up to 1/2 cup more vegetable or chicken broth and cook for 2 more minutes.
- Turn the heat to low and stir in the spinach and parmesan cheese. Cook for about 1-2 minutes, stirring to make sure the spinach is wilted. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if desired. Remove the pan from the heat.
- Top with shredded mozzarella cheese and broil for 3-5 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbling.
- Serve immediately topped with fresh basil, a pinch chili flakes and more shredded parmesan cheese. Serve with some crusty bread for dipping if desired.
