 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.
