Method:

- Combining Ingredients: Add the blanched beans to the skillet once the mushrooms are cooked. Toss everything together, ensuring the beans are well-coated with pancetta, mushrooms, and aromatics flavours.
- Seasoning: Season with salt, freshly ground pepper, and a hint of chili flakes for a gentle kick.
