Butter Beans alla Pizzaiola

Alla pizzaiola means "in the style of the pizza maker" a Neapolitan classic traditionally made with meat smothered in tomato sauce and melted mozzarella. This version keeps all that comfort and depth, swapping the meat for jammy butter beans and finishing with a golden, melting layer of vegan mozzarella straight from the grill.

The tiny human devoured it too? That’s a very good sign 😂 And yes, next time we definitely need the photo before it disappears!

Loved it. New staple! Also good without the vegan mozzarella topping if you are short on time.

You could transfer everything to a baking dish before adding the mozzarella topping! Make sure the pan isn't too crowded, so it bakes evenly. 😊 let me know if you try it x

A lovely recipe! I was worried about the mozzarella tasting too coconut-y, but it rounded out during baking/grilling. Had some fresh oregano left over from another recipe so scattered that on top and put all the basil in the sauce. Perfect for a chilly Australian winter evening!

Gorgeous picture Ash! 😍 So glad the mozzarella turned out perfectly, that coconut flavour really does round out so nicely once it's cooked. The oregano on top sounds like such a great addition!
