Preparation

Chef’s notes

While you can, and probably will, eat directly from the baking dish, it makes the most amazing crostini, ladled warm over pieces of toasted bread.
You can tinker with the flavors here almost endlessly:
add briny things like anchovies, capers, or cured black olives; add prepared pesto instead of fresh basil, finish with parmesan, pecorino, or even burrata.
If you only make it with tomatoes, garlic, beans, and basil, you will not feel that you’re missing a thing.
