This is easy, cheesy, carby lusciousness . . . 20 minutes to put together and you’re crockin’.  This was adapted from a recipe in Better Homes & Gardens magazine.

1  19-oz. can garbanzo or fava beans
1/4  cup purchased basil pesto
1  medium onion, chopped
4  cloves garlic, minced

1  large tomato, thinly sliced
1  8-oz. pkg. shredded Italian cheese blend (2 cups)
2  c.  fresh spinach

Directions

1. Rinse and drain beans. In large bowl combine beans, 2 tablespoons of the pesto, the onion, garlic and Italian seasoning.
