Instructions

Step 1

In a 9-inch ovenproof or skillet or medium-sized baking dish, add the white beans and stir them with the olive oil, salt, pepper and chili flakes. Add the marinara sauce and water and mix again. Stir in the kale if adding. Shake the pan to level it and sprinkle with the pecorino or parmesan and nestle in the optional mozzarella.

Step 2

Bake uncovered in a 375 F oven until bubbling and golden, 25-35 minutes. Feel free to broil for a couple of minutes to get the top extra golden. Garnish with fresh basil and serve with crusty bread and a leafy green salad.
