By carvalhohm

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 1/2 medium yellow onion, chopped (about 1/2 cup)
• 1 tbsp. Minced Garlic or 6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 1 tsp. dried oregano
• 1 tsp. dried thyme
• 1 tsp. cornstarch
• 1 cup white wine
• 1 packet Powdered Chicken Flavored Bouillon
• 1 tsp. sugar
• 1 can (15.5 oz.) Cannellini, drained and rinsed
• 1 can Red Kidney Beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 box (10 oz.) spinach fettuccine, cooked according to package directions
• Fresh thyme leaves (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions; cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, oregano and thyme; cook until garlic is light golden brown, about 1 minute. Using a whisk, mix cornstarch with 1/2 cup water until dissolved. Add cornstarch mixture, wine, chicken bouillon and sugar to skillet. Bring wine mixture to a boil and cook until the sauce is reduced by half, 2 – 5 minutes. Stir beans into sauce and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes more.

Add cooked, hot pasta to skillet with sauce; stir to coat completely. Divide pasta evenly among serving bowls. Garnish with fresh thyme, if desired.
