Instructions
• Cut zucchini into bite-sized chunks. Finely chop garlic. Drain and rinse cannellini beans. • In a large saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. • Cook diced bacon, zucchini and soffritto mix, stirring occasionally, breaking bacon up with a spoon, until softened 3-4 minutes. • Add cannellini beans and cook, until softened, 1-2 minutes.
• Add Mediterranean seasoning, the plain flour and half the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. • Stir in light cooking cream, vegetable stock pot and the water. • Reduce heat to medium, then cover with a lid and simmer, until thickened, 2-3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cut 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 then cut into slices. Season.
• Remove saucepan from heat, then stir through baby spinach leaves, until wilted. Season with pepper. • Divide creamy Mediterranean bean, bacon and pesto stew between bowls. Top with basil pesto. • Serve with garlic ciabatta dippers. Enjoy!
