Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups butter beans (canned or cooked) Canned beans work well for convenience.
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (chopped) Fancy versions can be used, but regular works fine.
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced) Smell the garlic as it cooks - don’t over-burn.
  • 1 cup heavy cream The cream is essential for the flavor.
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese Can use pre-grated for convenience.
  • 1 teaspoon Tuscan-inspired spice blend Italian seasoning works well.
  • to taste Salt and pepper Adjust to personal preference.
  • to garnish Fresh basil Adds a fresh aroma and taste.

Method
 

Cooking
  1. In a large skillet, combine butter beans, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and Tuscan spice blend.
  2. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes until heated through.
  3. Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
  4. Add Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper.
  5. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  6. Serve warm, garnished with fresh basil.

Notes

Don't rush the simmer to avoid a split sauce. Serve with warm bread for the best experience.
