Ingredients

    1 1/2 tbsp olive oil
    1 1/2 cups chopped onion
    3 minced garlic cloves
    1 tsp dried thyme or sage
    10 oz. crimini mushrooms (aka baby bellas)
    1/4 cup dry white wine
    1 15-oz can cannellini beans
    1 28-oz can diced tomatoes
    1/2 cup fresh basil
    Salt and pepper to taste

    3 cups prepared creamy polenta (NOT the stuff in a tube)

Directions

Warm the oil in a saucepan over medium heat and add the onions, garlic and dried herbs. Sprinkle with a touch of salt, stir, and cook for 8-10 minutes until the onions are golden and soft. While the onions cook, briefly rinse the mushrooms and quarter them (roughly 3 cups of mushrooms).

When the onions are soft, stir in the mushrooms and wine, cover, and simmer 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining ingredients (except the polenta), cover, and simmer 10 minutes or until hot and juicy. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Serve the ragout over polenta, and sprinkle with parmesan if desired. (parmesan is not included in the calorie counts)

    Very Good
    Good, affordable, easy, and super healthy! I used marsala for the wine and rosemary for the herbs. - 2/25/10
