This dish takes me back to the wonderful flavors and aromas found in that region. There is just something so delicious about teaming garlic with fresh herbs and Pecorino. The idea of adding the cheese to the bean cooking liquid is brilliant. It became velvety and smooth. Sprinkling more Pecorino on top of the mound of beans at the end added more vitality. If you are looking for a lively dish this is not it. Rather, it contains hints of Tuscany here and there in a subdued fashion. I often stud onions with whole cloves, and here an additional clove or two would have added just a little bit more flavor. [Brenda Carleton] Ah…Tuscany.
