Is an Italian classic! Nutritious and delicious, I often just enjoy it with some crusty bread, but can also be a sensational side dish to a bigger meal.

Ingredients
Flat beans (a few good handfuls) trimmed and cut into three pieces, diagonally .
2 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil (plus more for drizzling on top).
1-2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
400 ml of passata plus 150 ml of water
Salt and pepper for seasoning
Small rind of Parmesan of pecorino
1 small piece of capsicum (like 1/4 of a whole one) to add to the stew for flavour
🌿 Basil🌱🇮🇹
Directions
Heat up the oil in a medium sized pot, add the garlic and cook for 10-15 seconds, then add beans, passata, water, seasoning, cheese crust (if using), capsicum and bring to a simmer. Cover with a lid a cook for 60-75 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add herbs, a little extra olive oil and serve..
