Ingredients

Yield: 4 servings

¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil

3 fat garlic cloves, thinly sliced

3 tablespoons tomato paste

2 (15-ounce) cans white beans (such as cannellini or Great Northern) or chickpeas, drained and rinsed

½ cup boiling water

Salt and black pepper

⅓ pound mozzarella, coarsely grated (about 1⅓ cups)

Heat oven to 475 degrees. In a 10-inch ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high. Fry the garlic until it’s lightly golden, about 1 minute. Stir in the tomato paste (be careful of splattering) and fry for 30 seconds, reducing the heat as needed to prevent the garlic from burning.
