Spinach and Wheels

When I first started cooking, which was at the beginning of my marriage almost 10 years ago, I had a few recipes that I had found online that I just rotated through. One was a breaded pork chop with tomato sauce. Another was a pasta dish similar to the one I made tonight, with spinach, onions, broth and beans. When I found myself in the middle of a blizzard with those very ingredients in the apartment, I realized it was something the baby might like (I already knew Todd liked it). August is a pretty good spinach eater, but he's still very wary of beans (which I think is OK at this point).

First I sauteed a diced onion, then kept cooking it over medium-low heat until it was soft and brown. Stirred some garlic in there for a minute or two, then added a little bit of vegetable stock, a rinsed, drained can of white beans and some thawed frozen chopped spinach (I prefer fresh baby spinach, but this is what I had). Seasoned with salt and pepper, then added cooked pasta wheels and let it sit on the heat for a few minutes to get everything working together. It used to be farfalle always, but I thought August would have an easier time with the wheels.
