For a richer flavor, consider adding a clove of minced garlic to the onions while sautéing. A sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese adds a lovely finishing touch. Feel free to experiment with other types of beans, such as borlotti or kidney beans. For a vegetarian option, ensure your Parmesan cheese is rennet-free.
