  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.
