Years ago when money was scarce, I often relied on this economical standby. I sometimes added roast beef when leftovers were available.

  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 teaspoon beef bouillon granules
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/2 teaspoon each dried basil, thyme and marjoram

  • 2 cups broken uncooked wide egg noodles
  • 2 cans (15 ounces each) butter beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
