I sautéed in onions and substituted coconut milk, it was amazing &amp; super easy to make! Paired with rice made with veggie broth &amp; coconut milk  .

My husband and I love this recipe. I seldom have fresh basil so dried it is. I add an additional can of beans and more broth. I rinse the beans to cut the salt down (can’t find low sodium) because of high blood pressure. 
We have it regularly!

As an inveterate meat eater who wants to live more healthy and green, this is a dish that makes you not miss meat, deliciously spicy and flavorful.

Such an easy but decadent meal! Also, I love that you include the ingredient measurements in the steps- it makes it so much easier so I don’t have to scroll back and forth. Thank you!

This was the best bean recipe ever! This recipe has become a regular event in my meal planning. I can substitute just about any bean and it turns out awesome.

The was fantastic. I will definitely make this over and over. I followed the recipe as written and served mine with crusty bread.
Again, this was very good.

This is one of my family’s favorite recipes of all time! We make this once every week or two, but leave out the heavy cream at the end, and serve it on homemade sourdough bread. We thought the Marry Me Chickpea recipe was good, but it’s even better with butter beans. Even my picky 3 and 6 year olds scarf this down!

Ridiculously tasty! I was skeptical when making it but was so surprised at how good it was!

These are the best bean recipe I have ever tasted!! Will make from now on !

Made the vegan version and it was a definite hit. Can't wait to make this again and super quick for work night dinner

These flavorful creamy beans in a white wine and sundried tomato sauce are an easy vegetarian dinner or side dish! This recipe works with any type of beans: white beans, borlotti beans or kidney beans are all good choices. Serve with bread, sweet potatoes or grains for a simple meal.

Creamy "Marry Me" Bean Bake

shallots (sliced)

garlic

tomatoes

tsp red pepper or chili flakes

sage

thyme

tsp smoked paprika

white wine

vegetable stock

oz canned beans (drained)

heavy (double) cream

parmesan, pecorino cheese (grated)

baby spinach (chopped)

basil (chopped)

mozzarella (for topping)

Preheat the oven to 220C / 450F.

Heat a couple spoonfuls of the oil from the jar of sundried tomatoes in a cast iron skillet (or any pan that can go between the stove and the oven) over a low-medium heat.Saute the shallots until soft, then add the garlic and saute until just fragrant.

Add the sundried tomatoes, red pepper flakes, sage, thyme and smoked paprika. Saute until the herbs are fragrant.

Add the white wine and let it bubble for a few minutes until the harshest alcohol smell has passed and the amount is reducing a little.

Add the cream and cheese, stir through until the cheese has melted and a sauce has formed. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Add the beans, spinach and basil, and mix through the sauce. Assess the thickness of the sauce and add in the vegetable stock until it is fairly runny (a little runnier than you would like - it will thicken up in the oven). You may need a little more or less stock than the recipe states depending on how much your wine cooked down, and how thick your cream is.
