Marry Me Beans
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
- 2 tbsp butter
- 5 garlic cloves minced
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/2 tsp black pepper freshly ground
- 2 14 ounce cans cannellini beans drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup heavy cream or half and half
- 2 cups baby spinach chopped
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese grated
- 2 tbsp fresh basil chopped
Instructions
- Sauté the aromatics: In a large sauté pan, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. When the butter has melted, add garlic, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add beans and vegetables: Stir in the cannellini beans, vegetable broth, sun-dried tomatoes, and salt. Cook for 3–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most—but not all—of the broth is absorbed.
- Add cream and spinach: Pour in the cream and stir in the spinach. Cook for 1–2 minutes until the spinach wilts.
- Finish with cheese and herbs: Stir in Parmesan until melted and combined. Top with fresh basil before serving.
- Serve: Enjoy warm as a main dish or serve alongside whole-grain bread, pasta, or roasted vegetables.
