Preparation 1. Heat half the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the pancetta and garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 5 minutes. 2. Add the favas, season with the salt and pepper, and cook until the beans are tender, 6 to 8 minutes. 3. Meanwhile, drizzle the remaining olive oil over the bread slices and toast in a 450°F oven for 5 to 6 minutes. 4. With the back of a fork, mash the beans in the pan until the mixture is chunky. 5. Spread the beans on the toasts and top with the pecorino, if desired. Tip:If your toddler doesn't want the toast part, give him a more finger food–friendly bowl of cooked, unmashed beans. Four-star chefs wait all year for the same privilege.
