Arugula Salad with Cannellini Beans

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
3 tablespoons white wine
1 teaspoon dried sage
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 (15 ounce) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
salt and pepper to taste
3 cups arugula
1/4 cup shaved Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook the garlic in the hot oil about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, wine, sage, and thyme; increase the heat to medium-high and simmer 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the cannellini beans and basil. Season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking until beans are heated through, 3 to 4 minutes.
Arrange the arugula on a serving platter. Spoon the bean mixture over the arugula. Top with the shaved Parmesan cheese if desired.
