Finely dice the shallot. Finely chop or crush the garlic. Finely slice the courgette into half-moons. Finely slice the mushrooms. Roughly chop the sundried tomatoes.
Heat a medium saucepan with 1 tsp oil on a medium heat. Fry the shallot and half the garlic for 3 mins, then add the courgette and mushrooms and cook for a further 5 mins.
Add the passata, sundried tomatoes, olives and basil to the pan. Season with sea salt and black pepper, then simmer for 10 mins, until the sauce has thickened. Stir in the spinach and cook for another 2 mins.
Meanwhile, boil a kettle. Drain the beans and rinse.
In a separate saucepan, heat 1 tsp oil on a medium heat. Add the remaining garlic and fry for 2 mins. Add the beans to the pan with 50ml boiling water, then cook on a low heat for 5 mins, until the beans have softened.
Mash the beans. Season with sea salt and black pepper. Add a little more boiling water if needed to make a smooth mash.
Serve the bean mash topped with the sundried tomato and olive ragu.
