Ingredients
  • 1½ cups cooked farro
  • 2 tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 oz. mushrooms, chopped
  • 2 cans white beans, great northern beans, or navy beans, rinsed and drained
  • 4 big handfuls of fresh spinach, chopped
  • 28 oz. crushed tomatoes
  • 15 oz. fire-roasted diced tomatoes
  • 1 tsp. salt + more to taste
  • ¼ tsp. black pepper
  • ½ tsp. red pepper flakes
  • 2 tsp. dried oregano
  • 2 tsp. dried basil
  • 1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Fresh basil for topping, optional
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. If your farro is not yet cooked, cook according to package directions. You want about ¾ cup dry farro to give you 1½ cups of cooked farro. Drain and set aside.
  3. In a large skillet or pot, heat olive oil. Add onion, pepper, and garlic and cook for a few minutes until tender and fragrant. Add mushrooms and cook until they begin to release their moisture.
  4. Add beans and stir to combine. After a few minutes add the spinach and cook until wilted.
  5. Add crushed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, oregano, and basil. Cook for about 10-15 minutes until the mixture is bubbling. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. Add the cooked farro to the skillet and stir to combine. Depending on the size of your skillet, you may need to transfer the mixture to a large bowl to mix.
  7. Transfer the mixture to a large baking dish and sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
  8. Bake for 20-30 minutes until cheese is melted and mixture is bubbling.
  9. Serve with fresh basil, if desired.
  10. Enjoy!
