Instructions
Step 1
In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the red onion and garlic in olive oil until soft and fragrant. Then, add the chopped artichoke hearts to the skillet and sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Step 2
Once cooked, add Tuscan white beans to the skillet and stir well to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, until warm and cooked through. Turn off the heat and add chopped parsley, basil, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper, then stir until well combined.
Step 3
Add any additional add-ins, such as sundried tomatoes, grated cheese, or red pepper flakes. Bring heat to a simmer. Cover and simmer for 5-10 minutes.
Step 4
Once liquid is absorbed, add the spinach. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring until wilted. Taste test, adjusting any ingredients as needed. Serve warm
with optional toppings such as avocado, fresh herbs, or additional red pepper flakes. Enjoy!
