Ingredients

1/2 pound mini penne pasta

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 onion, thinly sliced crosswise into half-moons

1 cup diced carrots (about 2 small carrots)

1/2 teaspoon dried sage

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

3/4 cup chicken stock

1 cup diced zucchini (about 1 medium zucchini)

1 cup canned chopped tomatoes

1 can (15 1/2 ounces) white beans, drained and rinsed

Preparation

Cook pasta, according to package instructions; drain. Set aside.

In medium nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and carrots, and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add sage, oregano, salt, pepper, and stock. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer 10 minutes. Add zucchini and tomatoes; cook, stirring occasionally, until carrots are tender, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the beans, and cook, stirring occasionally, 3 minutes more. Remove from heat. Toss with pasta, and serve.
