- 680g canned tomatoes 1 28-ounce can

- 9g fresh basil leaves, coarsely chopped

- Add the canned beans with their liquid, the water, salt, and pepper, and cook over medium heat for another 20 minutes, until the beans are soft and begin to break apart.

- Ladle into bowls and top with the basil leaves as a flavorful garnish.
