- Stir to break up the lentils a bit, and then add the Provolone and Romano cheeses. Stir again, taste, and adjust the salt, red pepper, and fennel, as desired.
- Return the open pot to low heat and add the escarole. Stir it a bit to incorporate.
- In a separate saucepan, boil the ditalini with a dash of salt until al dente.
