Elevate the humble butter bean with this easy recipe. The flavours are inspired by cacio e pepe, though not in the traditional sense. Our Collection giant butter beans are cooked until super-creamy with parmesan and black pepper then served with charred broccoli, asparagus and a fiery chilli sauce. Swap the pecorino for a veggie alternative to make this dish vegetarian.
