1/2 pound mini penne pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 onion, thinly sliced crosswise into half-moons
1 cup diced carrots (about 2 small carrots)
1/2 teaspoon dried sage
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Cook pasta, according to package instructions; drain. Set aside.
In medium nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and carrots, and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Add sage, oregano, salt, pepper, and stock. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer 10 minutes. Add zucchini and tomatoes; cook, stirring occasionally, until carrots are tender, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the beans, and cook, stirring occasionally, 3 minutes more. Remove from heat. Toss with pasta, and serve.
