•
2 tablespoons butter
•
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, or more to taste
Directions
1
Empty sweet peas and cannellini beans into a saucepan; cook and stir over medium-high heat until heated through and 1/3 of the liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes. Stir butter into pea mixture until melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium.
