A simple yet flavorful dish featuring white beans infused with aromatic herbs and spices, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Using extra virgin olive oil enhances the flavor of the dish.
Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes to the skillet. Sauté until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Add the drained and rinsed white beans, parsley, rosemary, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir to combine.
Ensure the beans are well coated with the seasoning for even flavor.
Using a fork, mash about half of the beans in the skillet to create a creamy texture. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes.
Mashing the beans releases their starch, thickening the dish naturally.
Serve the dish warm, garnished with additional parsley or a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
Serve with crusty bread or a side salad for a complete meal.
