- 1 cup canned beans (e.g., kidney, black, or cannellini), drained and rinsed
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup canned diced tomatoes
- 1 cup vegetable or chicken broth
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheese (e.g., cheddar or mozzarella)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Bring a pot of salted water to boil and cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
Add the diced onion to the pan and sauté for 4-5 minutes, or until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn it.
Add the canned diced tomatoes, broth, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper to the pan. Stir to combine and simmer for 5 minutes.
Lower the heat and stir in the cream cheese until fully melted and incorporated into the sauce.
Add the cooked pasta and beans to the skillet, tossing gently to coat everything in the sauce.
Stir in the shredded cheese until melted and the mixture becomes creamy and cohesive.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper to taste.
