Description

A cozy, flavorful one-pan meal featuring creamy cannellini beans, tender spinach, and Mediterranean flavors.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2 cans (15 ounce each) cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 4 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Sauté Aromatics: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened and translucent.

2. Add Garlic & Spices: Stir in the minced garlic, dried oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for about 1 minute, until the fragrance is released.

3. Incorporate Beans & Tomatoes: Add the rinsed and drained cannellini beans and chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet. Stir and cook for 3-5 minutes to warm everything through.

4. Wilt the Spinach: Toss in the chopped fresh spinach, handful by handful, allowing it to wilt down before adding more.

5. Create the Creamy Sauce: Pour in the vegetable broth and heavy cream (or coconut cream for a vegan option). Stir well and let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly.

6. Finish with Parmesan: If using, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and fully incorporated.

7. Season to Taste: Taste the Marry Me White Bean & Spinach Skillet and adjust the seasoning with salt and black pepper as needed.

8. Serve and Enjoy: Ladle the delectable skillet into bowls and serve hot, accompanied by crusty bread, pasta, or rice, if desired.

Notes

For a vegan version, swap heavy cream for coconut cream or unsweetened almond milk.

For gluten-free options, serve over gluten-free pasta, quinoa, or cauliflower rice.

To add protein, consider grilled chicken, shrimp, or crumbled tofu.
