Instructions

1. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
2. While the oil heats, roughly chop the onion and garlic.
3. Add them to the pan, stir, then keep stirring about every minute so they saute evenly.
4. Meanwhile, cut the tomatoes into small bite-sized pieces.
5. After about 5 minutes, when the onions are translucent, add the tomatoes, oregano and paprika, season with salt and pepper, and keep stirring about every minute.
6. After about 8 minutes, when the tomatoes have broken down and are lightly sauteed, take the pan off the heat.
7. Drain and rinse the butter beans.
8. When the mixture has cooled slightly, about 5 minutes, blend it in a tall container with a hand blender until creamy. A food processor, stand blender or nutribullet also works.
9. Return the pan to medium heat. Add the blended sauce, drained beans and a small pinch of salt and pepper, and simmer.
10. After simmering the beans for 10 minutes, stir in the lemon juice and spinach until the spinach just wilts, then remove from the heat.
11. Transfer to a large serving dish, top with the grated cheese if using, and serve warm or at room temperature.
