Ingredients

Servings:
4
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 medium, diced Yellow Onion
  • 3 cloves, minced Garlic
  • 1 tsp (optional, adjust to taste) Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1 can (28 oz), undrained Trader Joe's Fire Roasted Tomatoes
  • 2 cups Vegetable Broth
  • 1 tsp Dried Oregano
  • 1 tsp Dried Basil
  • 1 tsp (or to taste) Salt
  • 1 tsp (or to taste) Black Pepper
  • 2 cans (15 oz each), rinsed and drained Cannellini Beans
  • 5 oz (about 5-6 cups packed) Fresh Spinach
  • 2 tbsp, chopped (for garnish, optional) Fresh Parsley or Basil
  • 2 tbsp (for serving, optional) Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 4 slices (for serving, optional) Crusty Bread

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Add diced onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Stir in minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using) and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

  4. 4

    Pour in the undrained Trader Joe's fire-roasted tomatoes and vegetable broth. Add dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

  5. 5

    Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and let it cook for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and deepen.

  6. 6

    Stir in the rinsed and drained cannellini beans. Continue to simmer, uncovered, for another 5 minutes to heat the beans through.

  7. 7

    Add the fresh spinach, a handful at a time, stirring until it completely wilts into the stew. This should take 2-3 minutes. The volume of spinach will significantly reduce.

  8. 8

    Taste the stew and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes to your preference.

  9. 9

    Ladle the warming tomato and white bean stew into bowls. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley or basil and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese, if desired. Enjoy with crusty bread for dipping.

Chef's Tips

  • 💡For extra protein, consider adding cooked Italian sausage (vegan or regular) or shredded chicken along with the beans in step 6.
  • 💡Feel free to add other quick-cooking vegetables like chopped zucchini or bell peppers during the last 10 minutes of simmering in step 5.
  • 💡This stew tastes even better the next day! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
  • 💡While Trader Joe's fire-roasted tomatoes are recommended for their smoky depth, any good quality canned fire-roasted tomatoes will work beautifully.
