@kalejunkie NEW! my version of PIZZA BEANS, and it’s high in protein and fiber, bc the two go hand in hand—each serving has over 40 grams of protein and 12 g fiber 🤝. It’s hearty, filling, comes together in one pan, and it’s best served in a bowl with bread you can use to scoop it all up. PSA: garlic bread is an excellent choice 😏! ⁣ ⁣ Be sure to SAVE this post, SHARE with friends and FOLLOW me @kalejunkie for more easy, delicious 30 minute or less recipes!⁣ ⁣ Makes 4 servings or 6 for smaller portions⁣ 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil⁣ 1 small yellow onion, diced (~3/4 cup)⁣ 1 lb chicken Italian sausage, casings removed (pork works too, chicken is just lower in fat)⁣ 3 cloves garlic, minced ⁣ 2 cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed⁣ 1 24-oz jar marinara of choice⁣ 1 tablespoon oregano ⁣ 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes ⁣ 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated⁣ 1-2 handfuls fresh spinach ⁣ 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded⁣ Garnish: fresh basil, chopped⁣ Serve with: crusty bread or garlic bread⁣ ⁣ Add olive oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the onion and sauté for 5 minutes until softened, then add in the sausage. Mash into small pieces. Once almost cooked through (little to no pink), stir in the garlic, stirring for another minute. Add in the beans, marinara, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Use the masher to mash up some of those beans. Mix in the parmesan cheese and add the spinach. Stir until spinach has wilted. Sprinkle the mozzarella on top and broil on the second to top rack for 4-6 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbling. Watch so it does not burn!!! Remove from oven, top with fresh basil and more red pepper flakes if desired. Scoop into bowls and serve with bread of choice. Enjoy! #pizzabeans
