Ingredients
  

For the Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil A splash to sauté and add depth of flavor.
  • 3 cloves minced garlic Fresh is best; it infuses the sauce with warmth.
  • 1 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes Adds a sweet, tangy burst that complements the beans perfectly.
  • ½ cup heavy cream Creates a luscious, creamy texture; can substitute with coconut cream for a dairy-free option.
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese Provides a rich, cheesy flavor; any aged cheese can work well here.
For the Beans
  • 4 cups butter beans The star ingredient! These creamy beans are packed with protein.
  • 1 cup baby spinach Adds vibrant color and boosts nutrient content in your dish.
For Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano A pinch infuses a lovely aromatic flavor reminiscent of Mediterranean cooking.
  • salt Season to taste for establishing all those wonderful flavors.
  • black pepper A dash adds a hint of spice that rounds out the dish.
For Garnish
  • freshly chopped basil A finishing touch that brightens up the dish with fresh, herbal notes.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large skillet, warm 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add 3 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant and golden brown.
  2. Stir in 1 cup of chopped sun-dried tomatoes and continue cooking for 2-3 minutes.
  3. Gently fold in 4 cups of butter beans, making sure they’re well-coated with the garlic and sun-dried tomato mixture.
  4. Slowly stir in 1 cup of baby spinach, mixing just until it begins to wilt, around 1-2 minutes.
  5. Pour in ½ cup of heavy cream and add ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese, stirring well to combine.
  6. Once the sauce has thickened and the beans are heated through, remove the skillet from heat. Garnish your dish with freshly chopped basil.
