    Put a pot of water to boil for the linguine.

    Add the can of cannellini beans to the Brussels sprouts, and bring the mixture to a boil thereby allowing the liquid to reduce. cook this way for for 5 minutes. By this time the water for the pasta should be boiling. Cook the pasta al dente.

    Taste the Brussels sprout mixture for seasonings. Add salt and pepper to taste. A bit of hot pepperoncini may also be added at this point if desired. When the mixture has thickened and about half of the liquid had evaporated turn off the heat. By this time the pasta will be done. Drain it and add to the Brussels sprouts mixture. Turn the heat to high and stir for about 30 seconds, being sure to mix all ingredients well..
