My mom used to make this when we were growing up and I loved it; it doesn't have beans in it but I've had this and salad as a meal many times and it's delicious. I don't know the exact recipe...I just kind of make it...

Broccoli with noodles

3/4 package noodle of choice (spaghetti, linguine, or fettucine all work great, and this is the smaller size, not a family size)
3/4 can chicken broth
1 package frozen broccoli
mushrooms or any other veggie you may have on hand...I've also used olives and cooked carrots
Garlic powder (or fresh) to taste
Salt and pepper to taste, I also add pepper flakes sometimes
1/4 c grated parmesan cheese

Cook pasta to preference. Place mushrooms and chicken broth in a saucepan to heat, season with spices to taste. Cook broccoli until almost done, then drain and add to chicken broth mixture; heat until cooked thoroughly. Toss pasta with veggie/broth mixture. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese.

I think the actual recipe calls for a full package of noodles, but it seems too bland with that many...so I usually cut back.
