Marry Me Beans.

Ingredients:

• 2 cans white beans (such as cannellini or navy beans), drained and rinsed
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
• 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for a bit of heat)
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh basil or parsley for garnish

Instructions:

1. Sauté the garlic: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
2. Add sun-dried tomatoes: Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Add the beans and liquids: Add the white beans to the skillet, followed by the heavy cream and broth. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a simmer.
4. Cook until creamy: Let the mixture simmer for about 5-7 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and the beans to absorb the flavors.
5. Stir in Parmesan: Add the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until it melts into the sauce, making it creamy and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Serve: Garnish with fresh basil or parsley and serve hot. This dish pairs wonderfully with crusty bread, rice, or as a side to your favorite protein.

Enjoy your Marry Me Beans—they’re rich, comforting, and sure to win over anyone who tries them!
