Step-by-Step Instructions
- Heat a generous splash of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and stir for about 5 minutes until translucent.
- Introduce the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the garlic is pale.
- Stir in halved cherry tomatoes and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the mixture starts bubbling and thickens.
- Gently fold the butter beans into the skillet, ensuring they are well coated with the tomato mixture.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for around 5 minutes until the beans are warmed through.
- Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream and grated parmesan cheese. Let it simmer for another 3-4 minutes.
- Season generously with salt and pepper. Adjust consistency if necessary by adding broth or cream.
- Stir in freshly chopped basil, parsley, lemon zest, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Remove from heat.
- Serve warm, garnished with extra parmesan cheese and fresh herbs. Enjoy!

Notes
Use fresh herbs and ripe tomatoes for maximum flavor. Avoid browning garlic to maintain a sweet flavor profile.
