Marry-Me White Bean, Spinach & Sundried Tomato Skillet

  This creamy, flavor-packed skillet is love at first bite! Velvety white beans simmer in a garlicky sun-dried tomato sauce, folded with wilted spinach and finished with a melt of grated Parmesan for irresistible richness. It’s a one-pan wonder that’s hearty, wholesome, and irresistibly delicious ... The kind of dish that just might inspire a proposal.

Satisfying on its own, it also pairs nicely with pork tenderloin or a delicate white fish for a more elevated meal.
