• Cozy, garlicky and rich
• One-pan and ready in 30 minutes
• Creamy Parmesan sauce with white beans
• Perfect with crusty bread

Instructions

1. Sauté the aromatics. Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Sauté the onion until soft, then add garlic and cook until fragrant (about 1 minute).
2. Add tomatoes and flavor. Stir in cherry tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes. Cook until the tomatoes soften and start to blister (5-6 minutes).
3. Add beans and cream. Stir in white beans and heavy cream. Simmer a few minutes, letting the sauce thicken slightly.
4. Add spinach and Parmesan. Stir in spinach and Parmesan until the spinach wilts and the sauce becomes creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Serve and enjoy. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, then serve warm with extra Parmesan and crusty bread.

Tips & Variations

• Do not rush the tomatoes; let them soften and blister so the sauce turns sweet and rich.
• Stir in the spinach in batches so it wilts evenly into the cream sauce.
• Use half and half instead of heavy cream for a lighter version of the same skillet.
