Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped
  • 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream or coconut cream for a vegan option
  • 2 cans butter beans 15 oz each, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese or 3 tablespoons nutritional yeast for a vegan version
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional, for heat
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves chopped, plus extra for garnish

Method
 

  1. Start by heating the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3–4 minutes. Then add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  2. Next, stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and let them cook with the onion and garlic for another minute.
  3. Pour in the broth and bring everything to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for about 5 minutes. After that, add in the heavy cream gradually while stirring continuously until well combined.
  4. Gently fold the butter beans into your creamy sauce along with grated Parmesan cheese. Stir everything together carefully. Season with Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
  5. Allow your mixture to simmer on low heat for about another five minutes until everything is heated through and creamy. Just before serving, stir in chopped fresh basil leaves.
