In 12-inch skillet, sauté onions in oil for 5 to 10 minutes or until cooked through.  Add garlic and sauté 1 minute more.  Stir flour into onions and garlic; add wine and cook, stirring until mixture comes to a boil and thickens slightly.  Add pistachios, tomatoes, basil, oregano and parsley to pan and heat through.  Keep warm.
