A delicious and nutritious vegetarian version of the classic crab cake.

Ingredients

15 1/2 oz Can canellini beans, drained and rinsed

1 cup Frozen corn kernels, thawed

3/4 cup Pre-shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

1 Large egg, beaten

1/4 cup Light canola mayonnaise

1 tablespoon Lemon juice

1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning

1/4 teaspoon Salt

Pepper

1 tablespoon Olive oil

1/2 to 1 cup Pasta sauce, warmed

Preparation

Mash the beans in a large bowl using the back of a fork or spoon until smooth but still a bit chunky. Add the cheese, corn, 1/2 cup of the bread crumbs, the egg, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste and mix well to combine. 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. Serve with warm pasta sauce for dipping.
