Savory And Spicy Northern Beans (Quick And Easy!) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, diced fine
2 tablespoons garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (more if you like things hot!)
2 (15 ounce) cans great northern beans, drained but not rinsed
2 teaspoons parsley, fresh and finely chopped
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/2 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Preparation

In a large pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the garlic, onion, and red pepper flakes and saute for 2-3 minutes on medium until slightly soft.
Add the beans, parsley, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Increase heat to medium high and cook for about 4-5 minutes. While they are cooking, mash about half of the beans with a fork until they reach the consistency that you prefer.
If you would like, you can garnish with some additional olive oil and ground pepper.
