- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onion - finely chopped
- 4-6 cloves garlic - minced
- 3 tablespoons tomato paste
- ¼-1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 tablespoon calabrian chili peppers can sub 1-2 teaspoons of chili flakes
- ½ cup finely chopped parsley or basil
- 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- ¾ cup full fat coconut milk (from a can) OR heavy cream macros are better on coconut milk but both work and are delicious
- ½ cup grated parmesan
- ½ cup chicken bone broth or vegetable broth can also sub water but will be less flavorful
- 3 cans butter beans - drained 13-15 oz size cans/jars/boxes, I love the linked beans
- 2-3 handfuls fresh or frozen spinach
Optional toppings and sides
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook for 8-10 minutes, until browned. Add garlic, salt, pepper, thyme, rosemary, oregano, chili pepper and tomato paste. Cook for 3 minutes, until fragrant. Add all remaining ingredients except for the spinach. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer. Cook for 15-20 minutes. The longer you cook it the more flavorful it will become but 15 minutes is sufficient.
Turn off heat and fold in spinach. Divide out and serve.
