Ingredients

3 tsp olive oil , divided

1 onion, chopped

1 carrot , finely chopped

1/2 rib celery , finely chopped

1 Tbsp minced garlic

8 oz canned tomato sauce

1/2 tsp dried oregano

1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

1/4 tsp table salt

1/4 tsp sugar

3 1/3 cup(s) butter beans, rinsed and drained (about 30 oz)

1 Tbsp parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

In large nonstick skillet, heat 2 tsp oil over medium. Add onion, carrot, and celery and cook, stirring often, until golden and tender, about 10 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Stir in tomato sauce, oregano, crushed red pepper, salt, and sugar and bring to simmer. Cook until flavors have blended, about 1 minute. Stir in beans and cook over medium-low heat, stirring often and adding a little water if sauce gets too thick, until heated through and beans are nicely coated with sauce. Remove from heat. Stir in remaining 1 tsp oil and sprinkle with parsley.
