2 ounces sliced pancetta or bacon, cut in small strips.  I used some smoked turkey, something I seldom buy due to nitrites/nitrates.  I used 4 oz  and sauteed it up with the onions.

1 cup diced onion

1 clove garlic, minced

2 cans (15 ounce size) cannellini or Great Northern beans, rinsed, drained (1 lb of dried beans, cooked to mushyness)

2 tsp dried sage

1 Tb chicken soup base (it’s more chickeny and less salty than bouillon)

pepper

Sautee the non beans in some EVOO until done to your liking of carmelization.  Mix with cooked beans.  You can puree them as well. I also snuck in the equivalent of a head of cauliflower that I had pureed and frozen in the freezer.
