Total time: 20 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 tablespoons olive oil; 2 tablespoons unsalted butter; 3 cloves garlic (finely minced); 1 cup vegetable broth; 1 cup heavy cream; ½ cup parmesan cheese (grated, plus more for serving); 1 teaspoon chili flakes; ¼ teaspoon oregano; ¼ teaspoon thyme; ⅓ cup sun-dried tomatoes (chopped); 2 cans butter beans or other beans (drained and rinsed); 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh herbs

I’ve made a few different versions of this method but I have to say, this one is surely my go-to! The rich creaminess of the butter beans only lends itself SO WELL to this dish.

But if you’re interested, my Marry Me Tofuand Marry Me Chickpeas are also SATISFYING as well!

Ingredients:

Butter Beans– I’ve made this method with chickpeas but A regular here it so much more with the butter beans. Their creamy texture lends itself so well to this dish!
Olive oil & Butter– these are part of what gives the sauce so much flavor and creaminess
Lots of Garlic– feel free to add more or less garlic according to your preferences!
Veggie broth– I used a simple veggie broth base to bulk up the sauce and add extra flavor.
Heavy cream– this is what makes the sauce thick and creamy! You could use coconut milk or a dairy-free cream/ milk is you want for this method vegan.
Parmesan Cheese– Much of the flavor in this sauce comes from the cheese. Add as little or as much as you’d like! Violife makes a flavor-packed vegan parmesan if you want this method to be vegan!
Sun-dried tomatoes– these are familiar to the dish and part of what gives it a Tuscan inspired taste.
