Add the onion and garlic and saute until deep golden brown, about 10 minutes.
8
Lower the heat to moderate, add the pureed beans and stir until thick and creamy, about 5 minutes; if the beans become dry, stir in a little water.
9
Season with salt.
10
Spread half of the beans in a large ovenproof skillet or baking dish and sprinkle with half of the grated cheese.
