For a richer flavor, consider adding a splash of chicken or vegetable broth during the last few minutes of cooking. Navy beans can be substituted for cannellini beans if preferred. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your liking for desired spice level. Serve with crusty Italian bread to soak up the delicious sauce.

A simple yet satisfying vegetarian dish featuring tender escarole and creamy cannellini beans, infused with garlic, red pepper flakes, and a hint of Parmesan. This is a delightful side dish, perfect alongside steak or a baked potato, but substantial enough to be enjoyed as a light meal with crusty Italian bread.
