Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F. Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium diced yellow onion and sauté for 5 minutes until translucent and fragrant.
  2. Step 2: Add 4 minced garlic cloves to the skillet and cook for 1 minute until aromatic but not browned. Stir in 2 cups drained and rinsed canned white beans and 1.5 cups canned crushed tomatoes.
  3. Step 3: Mix in 2 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Simmer the mixture for 8 minutes until slightly thickened and the flavors meld.
  4. Step 4: Transfer the bean mixture into a 9x9-inch baking dish. Sprinkle 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top, followed by 1/4 cup dry Italian bread crumbs.
  5. Step 5: Bake uncovered for 20 minutes until the top is golden and bubbling. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.
