Makes 4 Servings

Ingredients

  • One 15 1/2-ounce can canellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
  • 3/4 cup preshredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 3/4 cup dried bread crumbs, divided
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1/4 cup light canola mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 to 1 cup pasta sauce, warmed

Directions

  1. Mash the beans in a large bowl using a potato masher or the back of a large fork or spoon until smooth but still a bit chunky. Add the corn, cheese, 1/2 cup of the bread crumbs, egg, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste and mix well to combine.
  2. Shape the mixture into eight 1/2-inch thick patties and coat with the remaining bread crumbs. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the patties until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side.
  3. Serve with warm pasta sauce for dipping.
