For a richer, smokier flavor, consider using smoked bacon. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your preference for heat. If you don't have fresh parsley, 1 tablespoon of dried parsley can be substituted. For a vegetarian version, a tablespoon of smoked paprika can help replicate the smoky flavor of the bacon. These beans are even better the next day, as the flavors continue to develop.
