Cacio E Pepe Butter Beans

30 ounces (850 g) canned butter beans (2 cans or 3 cups cooked beans)

1 tablespoon butter or olive oil

1 tablespoon nutritional yeast (optional)

2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, coarse grind

1 cup (235 ml) low-sodium imitation chicken broth

2 ounces (55 g) shredded parmesan cheese (I used dairy-free)

1 tablespoon chopped parsley, for garnish (optional)

This 20 minute recipe is inspired by the classic Italian dish, but we're using creamy butter beans instead of pasta to make it a little more filling and protein and fiber-rich.
I love to serve this with a side of crusty bread and some steamed or sautéed vegetables to make it a balanced meal!
