• To beans, add tomato & herb seasoning and half the garlic and cook, until fragrant, 1 minute. • Stir in tomato sugo, the water and brown sugar and simmer, until thickened, 2-3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, slice 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 ciabatta. Season.
