Heat 1 tablespoon of the sundried tomato oil in a pan over medium heat, then add the diced onion and 1 teaspoon of salt and cook, stirring, for about 5 minutes until soft and starting to change colour (it’ll start looking transparent). Add the crushed garlic cloves and stir for another minute.
Add the ½ cup of chopped sundried tomatoes, 1 tablespoon of dried thyme and 1 teaspoon of chilli flakes, stir it, then pour in ½ cup of cream. and stir again. Add a splash of water if it’s looking a little thick at this point (this depends on how thick your cream is).
Add the white beans and ½ cup of grated parmesan, then stir again. Bring the beans to a simmer for 5 minutes. You can add a little water if it’s thickening up too quickly. Add the spinach leaves, then mix them through the beans (they’ll wilt and reduce in size drastically). Give it a good grind of black pepper and then taste, and add a little more salt if it needs it.
Finish by drizzling the chilli oil all over the beans, then scatter over the remaining parmesan.
