1. Warm a large frying pan (that has a lid) over medium-high heat. Pour the olive oil in and lightly coat the pan. Add red pepper and garlic, then saute for about 30 seconds.

2. Add the kale to the pan and use tongs to coat it with the oil. Pour the broth in the pan, cover and cook for 3 minutes.

3. Remove cover, add cannellini beans and cook for 5 minutes while stirring occasionally. When finished, remove from the heat, add the red wine vinegar, divide into 6 servings and sprinkle each one with a tablespoon of cheese per serving.
