What a great economical meal! I did blend the sauce with the beans in the blender before I added the cheese. I also chopped about ¼ cup of spinach to use in place of the parsley. I think the one issue I have with how it turned out, is the choice of cheese I used, pre-shredded mozzarella. I should have used a block of cheese and grated it myself. I believe it would have not strung as much and blended in better. It was still delicious and will be something we eat on our monthly rotation. Thank you!
