Yeah for meatless Monday! Actually, we do sometimes (often) eat meat on Monday's too, but I just happened to make the meatless pasta dish this last Monday and we really enjoyed it. It was something very different, but very tasty. It was pretty simple to make too with most of the ingredients probably on hand already.
Cannellini 'n' Onion Linguine From Healthy Cooking
2 medium onions halved and thinly sliced
1 T butter
1 T olive oil
1/4 cup white wine or vegetable broth
1 tsp brown sugar
10 oz uncooked linguine (I used spaghetti)
1 can (19 oz) cannellini or white kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup vegetable broth (or chicken)
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp pepper
6 T shredded Parmesan cheese
In a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, cook onions in butter and oil until tender. Add wine or broth and brown sugar; cook 5 minutes longer. Meanwhile, cook linguine according to package directions. Add the beans, broth, garlic, basil and pepper to the onions; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 10-12 minutes or until slightly thickened. Drain linguine; toss with onion mixture. Sprinkle each serving with Parmesan cheese.
