25 minutesComfort food doesn’t have to be complicated. This cheesy cannellini bake layers pantry staples to create something indulgent and satisfying. Woolworths’ passata rustica with basil forms a flavourful base, while cannellini beans add heartiness and texture. A rich cheese sauce and a generous dusting of Grana Padano ties it all together. Serve with crusty bread and a simple salad, or as a delicious vegetarian side. You can also swap the cannellini beans for butter beans or add wilted spinach between the layers for extra greens.

1. Preheat the oven to 220°C. Gently heat the olive oil and garlic in a saucepan until fragrant but not browned. Add the passata and simmer for 5–7 minutes until slightly reduced.
2. To make the cheese sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually add the milk, whisking continuously until thickened. Stir in the Grana Padano and season with salt and black pepper.
3. Spread the tomato mixture into the base of a baking dish. Layer over the drained beans, then pour over the cheese sauce. Sprinkle with a generous handful of grated Grana Padano. Bake for 15 minutes or until bubbling and golden brown on top.
