Cheesy Tomato Beans
This is another recipe that has minimal ingredients (5!) and is ready in 15 minutes. To ensure the sauce is really creamy and smooth, you will need a blender. I like to use a nutribullet because they’re pretty high powdered and small, so you can usually blend a fairly low volume amount of ingredients in it!

What ingredients do you need for this dish (includes possible substitutions)?
Sun-dried tomatoes: provides the base for the sauce so can’t be substituted!
Cream cheese: I prefer the full fat variety as it’s less likely to split.
Garlic clove: I’ve only used 1 clove here because when you blend garlic the flavour is more powerful than the usual chopped garlic. But add more if you fancy it!
Cheddar: can be swapped with grated mozzarella if you prefer!
Cannellini beans: most beans or pulses will work here.
