These Cacio e Pepe Butter beans are inspired by the classic Italian recipe, but have a plant-based twist with vegan parmesan (and extra boost of protein and fiber thanks to the beans!)
I love making this cozy and comforting meal on a busy weeknight because it only takes around 20 minutes from start to finish.
I love to serve these beans with crusty bread and with a side of steamed or sauteed vegetables, but they'd also work as-is or over your favorite grain!
The recipe is thick and stew-like as written, but you can also thin it out with a little extra water if you prefer your beans to be more brothy or soupy.
