One-Pot Alfredo White Beans & Broccoli (Creamy, Fiber-Packed & So Simple)
Let me introduce you to one of the easiest, creamiest, most comforting dinners to ever come out of a single skillet: One-Pot Alfredo White Beans and Broccoli.
This recipe is what I make when I need something warm and satisfying but don’t want to spend more than 15 minutes in the kitchen. It’s rich and velvety thanks to the Alfredo sauce, full of fiber from the beans and broccoli, and all made in one pan for minimal cleanup. It’s the kind of no-fuss, big-reward meal I keep coming back to week after week.
What You’ll Love:
Creamy and cozy without being too heavy
Made with pantry staples
Packed with plant-based protein and fiber
One pot = less mess
Easily customizable with added protein if you like
Ingredients:
1–2 cups broth of choice (I like to use bone broth)
3 cups broccoli florets
2 jars (or cans) of cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1 jar Alfredo sauce (choose your favorite brand)
Salt and pepper, if needed
How to Make It:
Steam the broccoli In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 cup of broth and the broccoli florets. Cover with a lid and let it steam for about 5 minutes. If all the liquid evaporates while it cooks, just add a small splash more.
Add beans and Alfredo Remove the lid and stir in the white beans and Alfredo sauce. Simmer everything together for about 10 minutes. You can add extra broth during this step if you want a looser, more saucy consistency.
Season and serve Give it a taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. That’s it. You’re done. Spoon it into bowls and enjoy that creamy, fiber-packed goodness.
Optional Protein Add-Ins:
This dish is super satisfying as-is, but if you’re looking to add more protein, it pairs beautifully with:
Grilled chicken
Pan-seared white fish
Roasted or sautéed shrimp
Whether you’re eating plant-based or just need something quick and nourishing, this recipe has you covered. It’s low-effort, high-reward, and exactly the kind of comfort food that doesn’t weigh you down.
