How to Prepare White Bean and Spinach Ragu [Vegan]

Heat olive oil in a large pan, on medium heat. Sauté garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add tomatoes, tomato paste, red wine, beans, bay leave, basil, parsley, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Simmer on low until tomatoes have cooked down a bit, and sauce has thickened. This should take about 25 minutes.
