- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup pitted black olives, chopped
- 1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and coarsely chopped
- ½ teaspoon salt plus more as needed
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper plus more as desired
- ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes plus more as desired
- 28 ounce canned chopped tomatoes
- 2 cans white beans, rinsed and drained.
- 2 cups (8 ounces or 227 grams)shredded dried mozzarella
- ½ cup Parmesan, grated

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F.
- Heat the oil in a large, oven-safe saute pan. Then add the the garlic and cook over medium-low heat for one minute.
- Add the olives, capers, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, for one minute.
- Add the canned tomatoes. Bring to a simmer under medium heat and cook for about 5 minutes until the tomatoes have reduced somewhat.
- Add the beans and stir them into the tomatoes.
- Turn off the heat and stir the mozzarella into the beans.
- Top with Parmesan and carefully transfer the pan to the oven. Bake for 10 minutes until the cheese has melted and the sauce is bubbling.
- Garnish with the chopped basil or parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
- These 30 minute pizza beans are all about balancing flavor and convenience. There are a few minutes of chopping and grating to give the recipe more flavor and make it worth your time!
- With canned tomatoes, whole tomatoes are usually the best choice because only good quality tomatoes can be canned whole. In this white bean tomato bake, it's ok to use canned beans and tomatoes to save time. Feel free to soak dried beans or use fresh tomatoes if you've got more time on your hands!
- I recommend dried mozzarella because it's easier to stir into the pizza sauce then shredded fresh mozzarella.
- Use this pizza bean recipe as a base for all of your favorite pizza toppings!
