Cheesy White Bean Tomato Bake

I have made this recipe twice now, and it is a hit. It tastes a lot like lasagna or any other baked pasta dish, but it doesn't have any noodles in it, so it's lower in carbs. Well, until you load it onto a piece of thick crusty bread like I do, but that's a personal choice.

The best lasagna substitute

Ingredients:

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

5 or 6 fat garlic cloves, thinly sliced

3 TBSP tomato paste

2 cans of cannellini beans (15 oz) drained and rinsed

1/2 cup boiling water

Salt, Pepper, Italian Seasoning

8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese


1. Preheat oven to 475 degrees

2. Heat oil in a 10-inch cast iron skillet and fry the garlic until golden. 

3. Add tomato paste and boiling water. Mix.

4. Add beans and seasonings. Mix.

5. Cover with cheese.

6. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, and broil for a minute to brown cheese on top, if necessary.
