1 large clove garlic, minced
1 medium-sized yellow onion, chopped
1 can of cannelini beans, drained and rinsed
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Add in garlic and onions, cook till translucent.
Add in zucchini , stir, then sprinkle in the salt and pepper. Caramelize the zucchini (cook until the zucchini begins to brown slightly, but do not burn!!).
Push the zucchini to one side of skillet, and add in the beans to the empty side. Let beans heat through, then mix the zucchini with the beans till incorporated.
Turn the heat down to medium. Cook for 5-10 minutes, till the beans are soft and cooked through.
