Instructions

How to Make Creamy Tuscan White Bean Skillet

  • Add the olive oil to a skillet and warm it over medium heat, allowing it to shimmer just slightly.
  • Toss in the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  • Carefully stir in the cooked white beans and the vegetable broth, mixing well.
  • Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5 minutes.
  • Gently mix in the heavy cream and fresh spinach, stirring until the spinach wilts.
  • Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Continue to cook until the spinach is fully wilted and the dish is heated through.
  • Ladle the creamy delight into bowls while it’s warm, and offer grated Parmesan cheese on top if desired.

Notes

For best results, add the heavy cream gradually while stirring to prevent curdling. Use homemade vegetable broth for a fresher flavor.
