Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

  1. 1 tablespoon butter
  2. 1 cup chopped pancetta
  3. ½ cup chopped white onion
  4. ⅓ cup chopped carrots
  5. ⅓ cup chopped celery
  6. 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
  7. ½ cup dry white wine
  8. 2 (15 ounce) cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  9. 2 cups chicken stock
  10. ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  11. ⅓ cup heavy cream
  12. 2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary
  13. 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  14. ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  15. 1 bay leaf
  16. salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a medium pot over medium heat. Add pancetta; cook and stir until browned, about 3 minutes.
  2. Remove pancetta but leave grease in the pot. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Saute until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Pour in white wine and bring to a boil while scraping up any browned bits from the pot with a wooden spoon. Boil until reduced by half, 6 to 8 minutes.
  3. Add in cannellini beans, chicken stock, Parmesan cheese, cream, rosemary, oregano, red pepper flakes, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer. Cook, stirring every so often to avoid burning, until the cheese and starch in the beans have thickened the liquid to a sauce-like consistency, 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Just made these and they turned out great! I did not have pancetta on hand, so I used some leftover ham. Since the recipe did not specify, I added the pancetta/ham when the beans went in.
