1. Adjust oven rack 6 inches from broiler element and heat broiler. Place ⅔ cup beans in bowl and mash smooth with potato masher.
2. Heat oil in 10-inch ovensafe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add onion and cook until softened and lightly browned, 7 to 10 minutes. Stir in garlic and rosemary and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
3. Stir in broth and simmer until slightly thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in mashed beans and remaining whole beans and bring to brief simmer. Off heat, sprinkle with Parmesan.
