Method
Heat the oil in a pan and then add the diced onion. Saute for 5-6 minutes until the onion begins to soften, and then add the minced garlic, artichokes, and sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another two-three minutes.
Add the tomato paste and stir it into the other ingredients, then tip in your cannellini beans, vegetable stock, and herbs.
Stir everything together and bring to a gentle simmer until the sauce has heated and thickened, then stir in the cream and spinach and cook until the spinach is wilted (5 minutes).
Grate in the hard cheese and season to taste, then top with your fresh basil leaves before serving.
For a vegan version, replace the heavy cream with coconut cream or a plant-based alternative and use nutritional yeast instead of cheese or simply omit it. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick or a scoop of soft cheese for extra creaminess.
