Ingredients You Need for White Bean and Spinach Ragu [Vegan]

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
28-ounce canned whole tomatoes, crushed with fingers
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup vegan red wine
1 19-ounce can white beans, strained and rinsed
1 bay leaf

How to Prepare White Bean and Spinach Ragu [Vegan]

Heat olive oil in a large pan, on medium heat. Sauté garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add tomatoes, tomato paste, red wine, beans, bay leave, basil, parsley, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Simmer on low until tomatoes have cooked down a bit, and sauce has thickened. This should take about 25 minutes.
A few minutes before serving, remove the bay leave and add the spinach. This gives it enough time to wilt, but it will still retain it’s bright green color.
Serve over pasta.
