- 1/2 cup chardonnay
- 1/2 cup vegetable broth
- 3 cups cooked cannellini beans, or 2 cans beans
- 1/4 cup basil pesto
- 6 ounces fresh baby spinach
- sea salt to taste
- freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in the pot over medium heat, and then add the onions. Sauté until golden, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add the mushrooms and garlic, and sauté until the mushrooms soften, about 5 minutes. Add the wine and cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces by half, about 8 to 10 minutes.
