Let them soak for ~15 minutes while you get started on the rest of your ingredients.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Heat a large rimmed skillet over medium heat. Once warmed, add the olive oil and minced shallot. Saut\u00e9 for ~2-3 minutes until the shallot is translucent.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Add the whole cherry tomatoes, sliced garlic, red pepper flakes (optional), and sea salt. Cook for 2 minutes, then add the white wine (or water) and increase to medium-high heat. Cover the pan and let the tomatoes cook for 5-8 minutes. At this point, the skins on the tomatoes should have blistered. Remove the lid and turn the heat back down to medium. Use the back of your spoon or spatula to smash the tomatoes.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Add the drained and rinsed white beans and stir, letting them saut\u00e9 (uncovered) with the tomatoes until most of the liquid has evaporated \u2014 about 5 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Once the liquid has reduced from your tomatoes and beans, add the cashew cream and cook, stirring occasionally, until it\u2019s a thick, saucy consistency.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days or in the freezer for up to 1 month.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n![\"Fresh](\"https:\/\/minimalistbaker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Creamy-Italian-White-Bean-Skillet-6.jpg\")
