 mashing some of the beans with a wooden spoon, until the liquid has
 reduced and thickened, 6 to 8 minutes.

 Off the heat, stir in the lemon juice, then the mozzarella, if
 using, and Pecorino Romano. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
 Divide among shallow bowls and top with more Pecorino Romano. Serve
 with toasted bread and a dish of red-pepper flakes on the side.
