Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 3 large garlic cloves
• 2 cups cherry tomatoes
• 2 cups cannellini beans
• 1 cup vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons parsley
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.

Step 2

Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Add both to the pan and sauté until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the pan. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes begin to break down.

Step 4

Rinse and drain the cannellini beans. Stir them into the pan along with the vegetable broth.

Step 5

Add the rosemary, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 6

Lower the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld and the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 7

Chop the parsley and stir it into the beans just before serving for a fresh, herbaceous touch.

Step 8

Drizzle with lemon juice for brightness and serve warm as a side dish, or over crusty bread for a more substantial meal.
