A rich and flavorful Creamy Tuscan White Bean Skillet featuring tender white beans simmered in a savory blend of vegetable broth, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and spinach, finished with a touch of heavy cream for a comforting and wholesome meal.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cans white beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 cup spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Heat oil: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering and ready for sautéing.
  2. Sauté garlic: Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes, making sure not to burn it.
  3. Cook tomatoes: Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes to release their flavors.
  4. Add beans and broth: Add the drained white beans, vegetable broth, and Italian seasoning to the skillet. Stir to combine all ingredients evenly.
  5. Simmer: Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the broth to slightly reduce.
  6. Add cream and spinach: Stir in the heavy cream and chopped spinach. Continue cooking until the spinach is wilted and everything is heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
  7. Season: Season the skillet with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, adjusting as needed.
  8. Serve: Serve the creamy Tuscan white bean skillet warm as a hearty main or side dish. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or a plant-based cream alternative.
  • Use low sodium vegetable broth to control salt content.
  • Fresh sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil can be drained to reduce oiliness, or use the dry kind rehydrated in hot water.
  • Add a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese on top for an extra burst of flavor.
  • This dish pairs well with crusty bread or over cooked pasta for a complete meal.
