Cooking Steps
• Cut zucchini into bite-sized chunks. • Finely chop garlic. • Drain and rinse cannellini beans. • In a large saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook zucchini and soffritto mix, stirring occasionally, until softened 3-4 minutes. • Add cannellini beans and cook, until softened, 1-2 minutes.
• Add Mediterranean seasoning, the plain flour and half the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. • Stir in light cooking cream, vegetable stock pot (see ingredients) and the water. • Reduce heat to medium, then cover with a lid and simmer, until thickened, 2-3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cut bake-at-home ciabatta into slices. Toast or grill ciabatta to your liking. • In a small heatproof bowl, microwave the butter and remaining garlic in 10 second bursts, until melted and fragrant. • Brush garlic butter over ciabattas. Season with salt and pepper.
• Remove saucepan from heat, then stir through baby spinach leaves, until wilted. Season with pepper. • Divide creamy Mediterranean bean stew between bowls. Top with basil pesto. • Serve with garlic ciabatta dippers. Enjoy!
