Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon butter can sub oil but butter adds more flavor
  • 3-6 cloves garlic adjust to your garlic preference, I used 3 very large cloves (equivalent to 6 regular sized)
  • ½ onion - finely chopped
  • 3 cans cannellini beans - drained
  • 1 ¼ cup vegetable or chicken broth use chicken bone broth for more protein
  • 1 cup grated parmesan
  • ¼ cup fresh chopped basil
  • pinch salt
  • pinch black pepper
  • 1 ~10 ounce jar artichokes - drained and chopped
  • 3 cups roughly chopped spinach this is about 2 big handfuls
  • juice from ½ lemon

optional toppings and sides

Instructions
 

  • Add butter to a deep skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook for 8-10 minutes, until softened.
  • Add all other ingredients except for the spinach to the skillet. Stir to combine. Partially mash about ¼ the beans with a potato masher.
  • Bring to a simmer, being careful not to boil. Simmer for 10-15 minutes.
  • Turn heat to low and fold in spinach, stir until the spinach is wilted. Squeeze in lemon, stir again and turn off heat.
  • Divide out, add your favorite toppings, and serve with toasty bread.
