Description
A comforting dish blending creamy white beans and fresh spinach with herbs and spices, perfect for cozy evenings and gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups Cannellini Beans
- 4 cups Fresh Spinach
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- 1 cup Vegetable Broth
- 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
- Red Pepper Flakes, to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients to ensure a smooth cooking process. Chop the onion and mince the garlic. Consider mashing some cannellini beans for a creamier texture. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the diced onion. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Then, add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes. Stir constantly to avoid burning, cooking until fragrant (about 1 minute). Next, stir in the cannellini beans, vegetable broth, and dried oregano. Allow to simmer for 5-7 minutes.
- Slowly pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle boil. Add the fresh spinach and mix until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. For a thicker sauce, let it simmer longer.
- Once ready, serve in bowls, garnished with freshly grated parmesan and parsley. Use a rustic platter or individual dishes for a beautiful presentation.
Notes
For a vegan version, substitute heavy cream with coconut cream. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
