Equipment

  • Large skillet

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in the skillet over medium heat. Cook the shallot until soft, 3 minutes, then add the garlic, rosemary and pepper flakes for 1 minute.

  2. Add the cherry tomatoes and cook until they blister and start to burst, 5–6 minutes. Press some with a spoon to release their juices.

  3. Add the beans, broth and salt and simmer, mashing a few beans to make the sauce creamy, 6–8 minutes.

  4. Stir in the spinach until wilted, 1 minute. Remove the rosemary stem, add the lemon juice and serve with toasted bread.

Notes

  • Not vegan? A spoonful of ricotta or grated Parmesan on top is lovely.
