ok here is the dish i served for dinner, don't look at the fancy plate please.   it tasted ok i will make it again but i will pump it up with some meat of some kind ,
if you want to make your own here ya go it's called:
FRESH POMODORO PASTA WHITE BEANS AND OLIVES
8 OZ WHOLE WHEAT PASTA  ( I USED PENNE)
2 TBLSP EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL
1 15 OZ CAN CANNELLINI BEANS DRAINED/RINSED (WHITE KIDNEY BEANS)
1 LG GARLIC CLOVE MINCED
1 LB RIPE DICED TOMATOES (ABOUT 3 CUPS)
1/2 CUP OIL CURED PITTED BLACK OLIVES CHOPPED OR SLICED
1/2 CUP FRESH BASIL
1/2 TSP KOSHER SALT ( I LEFT IT OUT)
PEPPER FRESH GROUND TO TASTE
1/2 CUP GRATED  ROMANO CHEESE
BOIL WATER TO COOK PASTA ACCORDING TO PACKAGE DIRECTIONS . DRAIN
MEANWHILE HEAT OIL IN LG SKILLET OVER MED HEAT.  ADD BEANS AND GARLIC .  COOK UNITL BEANS ARE HEATED THROUGH (ABOUT3 MINUTES).  REMOVE FROM HEAT ADD TOMATOES OLIVES BASIL AND PEPPER.  STIR TO COMBINE.  WHEN I SERVED IT I PUT THE BASIL ON TOP OF IT AND A LITTLE OF THE SAUCE IT MAKES FROM THE TOMATOES THEN CHEESE.
NEXT TIME I WILL ADD SOMETHING LIKE PEPPERONI OR GRILLED CHICKEN TO IT BUT IT WAS GOOD LIKE THIS.
