Instructions

Peel the garlic and slice it thinly. Drain the beans in a colander, rinse thoroughly, and let them drain. Heat the oil in a pan and briefly sauté the garlic.

As soon as the garlic starts to sizzle, add the tomato paste and syrup and sauté for about a minute.

Deglaze the pan with strained tomatoes and Worcestershire sauce, stir well and add the beans.

Gently simmer the beans in the sauce for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season the baked beans with salt and pepper and serve with your choice of side dishes.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Drain and Rinse Your Beans 🫘
Always drain and rinse canned cannellini beans thoroughly under cold water to remove excess sodium and starch, which prevents a gummy texture and allows the sauce to coat evenly.
Bloom Your Tomato Paste 🍅
Sauté the tomato paste in olive oil for 1-2 minutes before adding other ingredients to deepen its flavor and remove any metallic taste from the can.
Layer Your Flavors Early 🧄
Toast minced garlic in hot oil until fragrant before adding the tomato paste and other ingredients—this creates a more complex, aromatic base that enhances the entire dish.
Balance Sweet and Savory ⚖️
Add agave syrup gradually and taste as you go; start with half the recommended amount and adjust upward, as acidity from passata and tomato paste varies by brand.
Finish with Worcestershire Sauce 🎯
Stir in Worcestershire sauce in the final minute of cooking to preserve its complex umami notes and prevent them from being diminished by prolonged heat.
