Onion, minced
Olive oil

Salt
Dried oregano
Paprika
Red pepper flakes
Vegetable broth
White beans, drained and rinsed
Sun-dried tomatoes, sliced
Fresh spinach
Heavy cream
Fresh basil, chopped
Bread, for serving
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant.
Add tomato paste, salt, oregano, paprika, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 2 minutes to deepen flavor.
Stir in vegetable broth, white beans, and sun-dried tomatoes. Simmer for 4–5 minutes, stirring gently.
Reduce heat to low. Add spinach and heavy cream, stirring until spinach wilts and sauce becomes creamy.
Remove from heat, garnish with fresh basil and extra red pepper flakes if desired. Serve warm with toasted bread.
Notes
For extra creaminess, add a splash of additional cream before serving.
Let the sauce simmer gently—high heat can cause the cream to separate.
Best enjoyed fresh for optimal texture.
