Cooking Steps

Cook the veggies
1

• 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, 4-5 minutes.
• Add cannellini beans and cook, until softened, 1-2 minutes. 

Make it saucy
2

• Add herb & mushroom seasoning, the plain flour and half the garlic and cook, stirring until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Stir in light cooking cream, vegetable stock (see ingredients) and the water.
• Reduce heat to medium and simmer, until thickened, 2-3 minutes. 

Make the dippers
3

• Meanwhile, cut bake-at-home ciabatta into slices. Toast or grill ciabatta to your liking.
• In a small microwave-safe bowl, microwave the butter and remaining garlic in 10 second bursts, until melted and fragrant.
• Brush garlic butter over ciabatta, then cut into slices. Season with salt and pepper to taste. 

Finish & serve
