I made this classic dish using fresh vegetables from our local farmers' market, 1 can S&W Italian recipe tomatoes, 1 can S&W white kidney beans 'cannelini', and a sprinkling of Italian blend seasoning instead of a bay leaf--topped with shredded reduced fat mozzarella cheese --- magnifico! A keeper! - 8/10/09
