GETTING READY
1) Follow instruction to cook pasta. Drain water and keep the pasta warm.

3) Sauté garlic and cook for 30 seconds or until softened. Do not brown.
4) Stir in salsa, beans, broth and cilantro.
5) Bring the mixture just to a boil, by occasional stirring. (If mixture appears too thick, add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, to desired consistency.)

SERVING
6) Use a large serving bowl to place pasta. Spread the salsa mixture and toss to coat well. Sprinkle with feta cheese and garnish with thyme, if you wish.
