👨‍🍳 Instructions

Pour enough water into a large pot to be about 2 inches deep; bring to a boil.

Stir 1 teaspoon salt into the boiling water; add escarole.

Cook the escarole at a boil, pushing the escarole further into the water as it wilts, until it is fork-tender, 3 to 5 minutes; drain.

Pour olive oil into the pot and place over medium heat.

Cook and stir garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes in hot oil until the garlic is soft, 3 to 5 minutes.

Stir drained escarole and cannellini beans into the garlic mixture; cook and stir until the beans are hot, 5 to 10 minutes.

Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the mixture just before serving.
