Pizza beans are hearty white beans simmered in a marinara-like sauce and topped with bubbling mozzarella cheese — all the satisfaction of pizza in a more wholesome, pantry-friendly dish.
This version uses canned beans, optional spinach, and a rich tomato paste-based sauce that tastes like it’s been simmering on the stove for hours. It’s cheesy and satisfying like baked ziti, but easier to pull together on a weeknight.
The result is a simple, cozy meal that comes together quickly and relies almost entirely on ingredients you’re likely to already have on hand.
