Fall Tuscan Beans with Spinach and Pesto

Adding spinach and simmering until liquid is reduced by half.


Recipe:

2 Tbsp. of olive oil, heated in large frying pan
3/4 cup of chopped onion
2 cloves, small, of minced garlic
2 cans of white Cannellini Beans, 15 oz. size - use the juice
1 jar of sliced mushrooms or use 10 oz. of fresh ones
3 large handfuls of spinach
6 oz. of prepared pesto, 1/4 cup of white wine
salt and pepper to taste
Freshly grated Parmesan Cheese for serving
1/2 cup of vegetable broth

Heat oil and add onions, cook until clear. Add the garlic and mushrooms and cook until softened. Add wine. Cook down until half of the liquid is reduced to a level which you prefer to eat. I don't like mine too runny.
Add the vegetable broth and the beans. After the beans are heated, add the pesto, stir well and add  spinach. It does not take very long to wilt the spinach. Season with the salt and pepper and top with grated cheese.
