Notes
Cannellini beans provide the creamiest texture, but great northern beans work equally well.Frozen spinach may be substituted; thaw and squeeze out excess moisture before using.For a vegan version, use dairy-free cream cheese and replace the Parmesan with a plant-based alternative.Add cooked chicken, turkey, or sausage for additional protein.A splash of extra broth can be added if the skillet becomes too thick.Fresh lemon juice brightens the flavors and balances the richness of the sauce.
