- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 3 thin slices prosciutto, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, sliced

- 1 (15 ounce) can white beans, drained
- 1 (14.5 ounce) package penne pasta
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Saute onion and prosciutto in hot oil until onion is soft, 5 to 6 minutes. Stir garlic, salt, red pepper flakes, and black pepper into onion mixture; saute until fragrant, about 1 minute.
