Weeknight Beans on Toast

Ingredients for Weeknight Beans on Toast

• 2 matskedar extra jungfruolivolja

• 450g sweet or hot Italian sausage, casings removed

• 5 garlic cloves, 3 thinly sliced, 2 finely grated

• 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano

• 1/4 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

• 1 (800g) can crushed tomatoes

• 3 teaspoons kosher salt, divided, plus more

• 1 (140g) package baby spinach, coarsely chopped

• 2 (450g) cans white beans, rinsed

• 4 matskedar osaltat smör

• 1 (12") crusty Italian sub roll, cut in half crosswise, split lengthwise, or 2 ciabatta rolls, split lengthwise

• 30g Parmesan or Pecorino, finely grated

• Chopped parsley (for serving

• optional)

Heat oil in a large Dutch oven or high-sided skillet over medium-high. Add sausage and press down on it with a heatproof rubber spatula to flatten slightly. Cook, undisturbed, until browned underneath, about 4 minutes. Turn sausage over and cook, undisturbed, until browned on the other side, about 3 minutes. Break up sausage into bite-size pieces with spatula. Add sliced garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using) and cook, stirring, until garlic is beginning to get golden around the edges, about 1 minute. Carefully add tomatoes (beware of splatter!), then 2 1/2 teaspoons salt and 240ml water. Bring sauce to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly reduced, 10–12 minutes. Mix in spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Add beans and cook until warmed through, about 3 minutes. Taste ragù and season with more salt if needed.

Meanwhile, heat grill. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Mix in grated garlic and remaining 1/2 teaspoons salt and cook until fragrant and sizzling but garlic is not yet browned, about 30 seconds; remove from heat.

Arrange bread, cut side down, on a foil-lined baking sheet and grill until golden brown, about 1 minute. Remove from grill and turn bread over. Brush untoasted sides of bread with garlic butter and grill until evenly golden brown on top, about 1 minute (keep watch; it will go fast).

Divide toast among plates. Ladle a generous amount of ragù over and top with Parmesan and parsley.

Ragù can be made 3 days ahead. Let cool; cover and chill. Reheat over medium-low.
