My family seems to like any version of white beans in tomato sauce. I make quite a lot so we can have it over two days. I like the beans soft and creamy. Serve them with grilled sausages or another meat, or just on their own on toast with a great heap of grated parmesan on top. These are cooked first on the stovetop for an hour and then finished in a casserole dish in the oven for another hour or so. Leftovers are great for throwing into a soup.
