Directions
1. Cook shells according to package directions.
2. Meanwhile, heat oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring often, until they begin to soften, 4 minutes. Add beans and seasonings. Cook until heated through, 1 minute.
3. Drain pasta, shaking to remove as much moisture as possible. Fill with bean mixture. Arrange in a shallow casserole that is just large enough to hold shells. Sprinkle with olives and cheese. Broil 6 inches from heat source just until the cheese melts, about 1 minute.
