Cannellini beans are a good substitute for a similar texture.

Prep the ingredients by chopping 1 small onion and 3 cloves of garlic.

Add 1 tablespoon of ghee or clarified butter and 1 tablespoon of cooking oil or butter to a skillet.

Add the diced onion to the skillet and begin to sauté, adding a pinch of salt.

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and continue sautéing over medium to medium-high heat.

Add crushed red pepper flakes, smoked paprika, garlic salt, pepper, and oregano leaves to the skillet.

Mix in dried parsley to the sautéed vegetables.

Pour in chicken bone broth (or vegetable broth for vegetarian option) and stir.

Add 2 cans of drained butter beans to the skillet, along with additional smoked paprika and onion powder to taste.

Incorporate a bag of frozen fire roasted vegetable mix into the skillet and add a pinch of salt.

Add 1/4 to 1/3 cup of julienne sundried tomatoes to the mixture and let it simmer.

Mash about a third of the beans in the pan for a creamy consistency without heavy cream or cheese.

Stir in 1/4 cup of heavy cream and 1/4 cup of freshly grated Parmesan cheese, mixing well.

Add fresh basil leaves and mix again, seasoning with salt to taste.

Top with extra crushed red pepper flakes and mix for an extra kick.

Toast sourdough bread as a side to the dish.
