Love a creamy bean recipe? You’ll love these Creamy Romesco Butter Beans as well as my Marry Me Butter Beans and my One-Pot Brothy Beans! Why you’ll love this simple bean recipe! I make my pesto cream sauce SO often (especially in the summer) and have been wanting to try it with beans instead of pasta for a while.Turns out, it’s absolutely delicious and something I will certainly be making on a regular basis! There are just some things that are FAR better homemade instead of store bought and, in my opinion, pesto is absolutely one of them.Store bought pesto just does NOT compare to homemade pesto.

AND that explains why I have so many different pesto variations on my blog including this classic basil pesto, this walnut pesto AND this creamy vegan pesto! Why you’ll love it: Read in 15 minutes – seriously such a simple and quick weeknight dinner.Packed with protein – the beans make this more filling and fiber-full than a pasta based meal.Rich and CREAMY – the pesto, cream, and paremsan create a sauce that clings to every single bean! Made in ONE SKILLET – did I mention it’s a one pan meal!? Minimal cleanup but maximum flavor!
