Steps:

• Heat oil in 3-quart pan, add onions and cook over meduim heat till limp, but not browned.

• Stir in one can beans with their liquid.
• Liquify the rest of the beans with their liquid in a food processor, or mash with a potato masher in a bowl. Stir them into the rest of the dish.

• Add chicken broth a little at a time until you get the thickness you like. It should be thick, but thin enough to coat pasta.
• Stir in oregano and basil and season to taste with salt and pepper. Add more olive oil if desired.
• Serve over hot pasta with grated Parmesan cheese. You can add a little heat with some red pepper flakes.

SAUTEED CANNELLINI WITH SPINACH AND GARLIC

Steps:

• Saute -- In a large pan, heat the oil. Add the garlic, onion and red pepper and saute for 2-3 minutes on medium until slightly soft.
• Beans and spinach -- Add the beans, seasoning and saute on medium high to high until cooked through, about 5 minutes. As they cook I like to take a fork and slightly mash the beans a bit to get a good consistency. I like to get them a little crisp and browned but not fried dark brown. Just a light browning is good. Add the spinach and break up as it cooks. If too dry you can use a little white wine, chicken broth or just water to loosen the sauce if necessary. Garnish with some good olive oil and ground pepper.

• Heat 3 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium. Cook crushed garlic and red pepper flakes, stirring, just until garlic is golden, about 1 minute. Working in batches, add spinach, letting it wilt slightly before adding more, and cook, tossing often, until leaves are just wilted, about 5 minutes; season with salt.
• Using a slotted spoon, transfer beans to skillet with spinach and cook, tossing gently, until beans are warmed through. Add lemon zest, lemon juice, and 1/4 cup bean cooking liquid and toss, adding more cooking liquid if needed, until coated (mixture should be saucy but not submerged in liquid; don't cook too long or beans will get mushy). Taste and season with salt. Serve drizzled with oil.
