Bubbling One-Pan Cheesy Tomato Butter Beans

This is a proper one-pan win, with flavours that sort of resemble a pizza! Peeling the tomato skins might seem odd, but it's worth doing - the juices break down into something properly silky, instead of a little stringy. From there, the butter beans and their bean stock take over, turning the sauce jammy and deeply savoury as they simmer, before melting in loads of cheese for a super comforting, bubbling finish destined for dunking crusty bread into.

Directions

1

Heat three tablespoons of olive oil in a large, wide pan over medium low heat. Cut the tops off the tomatoes and nestle them cut-side down around the edge of the pan.

2

Add the onion to the middle of the pan and give it a gently stir so that it’s coated in the oil. Cover and cook for 12-15 minutes until the tomatoes have softened and the onion has turned translucent. Add a splash of boiling water if it starts to catch.

3

Peel away the tomato skins, then crush the tomatoes directly into the pan with the back of a fork, keeping some texture rather than blending smooth.

4

Add the garlic, tomato paste, dried oregano and rosemary with a good pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well to combine and simmer for a few minutes until fragrant. Stir through most of the basil/parsley, saving some for garnish.

5

Pour in the beans with their bean stock, stir to combine and cook for 2 minutes until warmed through.

6

Tear in the mozzarella and add the cheddar then stir to combine, letting them melt into the sauce until rich and creamy.

7

Serve hot with an extra scattering of basil or parsley, and dunk with crusty bread.
