Method

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large grill or ovenproof pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion with a pinch of salt and cook for 8–10 minutes until softened.
  2. This is a great time to add some hidden veg to the sauce if you’ve got anything lurking in the fridge, chuck in some finely chopped carrot or pepper, for example (optional).
  3. Stir in the tomato sauce, oregano and beans with their bean stock. Simmer for 7–8 minutes until slightly thickened.
  4. Add the spinach and cook for around 3 minutes, until wilted. Season to taste.
  5. Preheat the grill to high. Top the beans with torn mozzarella, Parmesan and your chosen pizza toppings.
  6. Grill for around 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and golden.
  7. Scatter with fresh basil and serve with a lemony rocket salad and garlic bread.
