Saute the onion in olive oil for 5-7 minutes so it starts to become caramelised. Add the garlic and tomato paste and cook for another minute.

Add the can of beans along with their liquid and use that to deglaze the pan. Stir through the harissa, oregano and cream and let simmer for another 5-10 minutes (depending on how much time you have).

While the beans are simmering, toast your bread.

¼ tsp ground black pepper

sun-dried tomatoes (roughly chopped)

Flavor Base: Heat 2 Tbsp unsalted butter, 4 cloves garlic, ½  tsp each salt, oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, smoked paprika, and ¼ tsp ground black pepper in a large saute pan or pot over medium heat. Cook for about 2 minutes, until garlic is fragrant.

Fillings: Stir in ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, ½ to 1 cup vegetable broth*, and 2 15-oz cans butter beans. Continue cooking on medium, uncovered, for 5 minutes.

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 Cacio e Pepe Butter Beans are a dreamy one pot meal made with parmesan, black pepper, and buttery white beans, gives the classic creamy pasta dish a protein boost and dairy-free twist! Vegan &amp; Gluten-Free.

Cacio e Pepe Butter Beans

butter beans (2 cans or 3 cups cooked beans)

butter oil

nutritional yeast (optional)

black pepper (coarse grind)

chicken broth (or sub water)

cheese

parsley (for garnish (optional))

Bloom the Pepper: Warm 1 tablespoon of butter or oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the ground pepper and nutritional yeast (if using) and swirl it around; sauté for 45 to 60 seconds, until the pepper is fragrant.

Simmer: Add the beans and broth and mix well. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 7 to 9 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has reduced by about half.

Sauce: Reduce the heat to low and add in the grated parmesan. Gently fold the cheese into the beans until it has melted and the sauce has thickened (this should take around 1 to 2 minutes). If the sauce is too thick for your liking, thin it out with warm water in 2 tablespoon increments.

Serve: Season with additional salt and pepper to taste and serve warm and as desired. Store leftovers in an airtight refrigerator for up to 5 days. The sauce will thicken up after it sits in the fridge, so I recommend thinning it out with a splash of water when you reheat any leftovers in the microwave or on the stove.

The quickest, most satisfying lunch or light dinner that’s on the table in just 10 minutes. It’s quick, it’s healthy and it’s very delicious.

Lunch Box: 10-Minute Smoky Harissa Creamy Butter Beans

Cherry Tomatoes

Garlic Clove

Tomato Paste

Harissa

Smoked Paprika

Butter Beans

Vegan Cream Cheese

Crusty Bread

Parsley

Tahini

Flaked Almond

Add the cherry tomatoes to a pan with a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Set it over a medium-high heat and cook for about 5 mins until starting to soften and burst open. Add a splash of water if they’re catching on the bottom of the pan. 

Mince the garlic and add it to the tomatoes in the pan along with the tomato paste, ¾ of the harissa and the smoked paprika.

Add the tinned butterbeans and ½ their liquid to the pan then stir in the vegan cream cheese. Bring the mixture to a boil then turn down the heat and simmer for 5-10 mins until the beans have softened and the broth has thickened (it should be creamy).

Meanwhile, toast the bread and finely chop the herbs.

Ladle the beans into bowls or meal-prep boxes. Drizzle over the tahini and some remaining harissa. Finish with the chopped herbs and flaked almonds. It will keep in the fridge for 3 days.

With all the flavours, I was looking forward to this but it just tasted meh to me. Maybe because it’s not cooked for very long, the flavours just don’t permeate the dish.
