A layer of crunchy breadcrumbs tops this gorgeous-looking vegetarian casserole. Rosemary and dry white wine add fabulous flavor. It also features onions, garlic, cannellini beans, diced tomatoes, fresh spinach, and lemon juice. The topping is easy to make and quickly comes together, as all you have to do is mix the panko, Parmesan cheese, and melted butter together before sprinkling over the veggies. All that's left is to bake in the oven until the topping is browned, which should take just 20 minutes. You can make it vegan by swapping in your favorite vegan cheese and butter substitutes. You could also make this dish in individual ramekins for a pretty presentation and easy portion control.
