Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of high-quality extra-virgin olive oil over medium heat. Once shimmering, add one finely chopped medium onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Next, add 3 minced garlic cloves to the pan, cooking for an additional 1–2 minutes.
- Combine 2 cups of halved cherry tomatoes and ½ teaspoon of red pepper flakes into the skillet. Cook for 4–5 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to soften and release their juices.
- Gently fold in 2 cans of drained and rinsed butter beans, ensuring each bean is coated in the tomato mixture. Continue cooking for 2–3 minutes.
- Pour in 1 cup of vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Lower the heat and add ½ cup of heavy cream and ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese into the skillet. Simmer for another 3–4 minutes, stirring until the sauce thickens.
- Season the dish with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the flavors as needed.
- Remove the skillet from heat, stir in a handful of chopped fresh basil and parsley, along with the zest and juice of one lemon.
- Dish out your creamy Tuscan Marry Me Butter Beans warm, garnished with extra Parmesan and fresh herbs.
