Ingredients

  • 3 tins of butter beans (£0.49x3)=(£1.47) ⁠
  • 500 g passata (£0.32⁠)
  • Bag spinach (£1.19⁠)
  • Wholemeal thins (£0.55⁠)

Cupboard Essentials

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp paprika⁠
  • 1 tsp thyme⁠
  • ½ tsp garlic granules⁠
  • ½ tsp onion granules⁠
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes⁠
  • 150 ml vegetable stock

Instructions

The blending of the beans step is optional if you don’t want to go to the added effort – it just thickens the sauce and helps to get that creaminess.

  • Start by adding a tbsp of olive oil into a large saucepan on a low heat. ⁠
  • Add the seasoning into the pan to ‘bloom’ for one minute before adding the drained butter beans, reserving a handful of beans to blend for creaminess.
  • Stir in the beans to coat with the seasoning (save a handful of beans to blend) before pouring the passata into the pan, again reserving a splash of passata to blend with the handful of butterbeans. ⁠
  • Reduce the heat to a low simmer while you blend the handful of butterbeans, splash of passata and 150 ml of vegetable stock. Blend until you get a creamy mix.⁠
  • Pour the blended beans into the saucepan and stir to combine to form the thick, creamy sauce. ⁠
  • Add a couple of handfuls of spinach and cook for a further few minutes until the spinach wilts.
  • Pour into a large tupperwear to store throughout the week. ⁠
  • When its breakfast time, toast a wholemeal thin and serve up with a ladle of the saucy, creamy beans. (Heated in the microwave for 2 minutes)⁠.

Enjoy!!
