roasted tomato and white bean thing

Made this last night basically because the tomatoes from the farmers market were on their last legs and I couldn't bear to waste them. Roasted them with a bit of olive oil and garlic until they're proper jammy — that's honestly the whole trick, just let them go until they almost collapse. Chucked them into a pan with a tin of cannellini beans, a splash of the pasta water I had going anyway, and some wilted spinach at the end. Topped with a torn bit of sourdough to soak it up. Roughly for two: - 400g mixed tomatoes, halved - 1 tin cannellini beans, drained - 2 garlic cloves, bashed - Big handful spinach - Olive oil, salt, chilli flakes if you want - Sourdough on the side Roast tomatoes at 200°C for about 25 mins, then everything else in the pan for 10. That's genuinely it. Nutritionally speaking, cannellini beans are doing a lot of heavy lifting here — around 9g protein and 6g fibre per 100g cooked, which is gert good for a mostly plant-based meal. Full dish comes in around 380–420 kcal depending on the bread situation. Oli had seconds which I'm taking as a win.

I sometimes throw in a bit of chilli flake at the roasting stage and it changes the whole thing

do you season the beans at all or just let the tomatoes do the work?
