   Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add garlic; cook, stirring, until fragrant, ⏱️ 30-60 seconds . Add cannellini beans and their liquid, veggie stock concentrate , and italian seasoning , and a pinch of sugar (we used 1/8 tsp for 2; 1/4 tsp for 4). Cook, stirring occasionally, until beans are warmed through, ⏱️ 3-5 minutes . Remove from heat. Add half the mozzarella cheese . Mash beans with a potato masher or fork until mostly smooth and thickened. If you have an immersion blender, use it here for an extra-smooth mash. TIP: If beans seem too thick, stir in a splash of water. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
