2	Cook onions and garlic	5
In a large nonstick skillet, over medium heat, grease with cooking spray to coat. Add onion and garlic and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring often, until soft and translucent.

Add the beans, tomatoes, tomato paste, cinnamon and pepper. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mixture has thickened.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add flour and salt and stir.

6	Add nutmeg	1
Remove white sauce from the heat and stir in the nutmeg.
