Vegetarian Black Bean Pasta
This was something I created as a teenager, back when I was a vegetarian. Now that my daughter doesn't eat meat, she asks for this dinner several times a week. —Ashlynn Azar, Beaverton, Oregon

Easy to make! Family loved it! Will need to add salt for flavor.
I made this for dinner last night, we both loved it! I do agree with additional salt being needed, but other than that, it's a keepr!

Cut larger, 3/4” slices of portabello mushrooms. Added ground flax seed with the tomatoes and beans. Really enjoyed this recipe and a break from meat!
This is suppose to be low sodium. Why does everyone keep saying to add salt. And adding seasoning salt. It already has 230mg of sodium in it. And another is adding chicken broth, more sodium. Wow is all I can say. The recipe is fine just the way it is. Let others add salt at the table.
My husband recently was diagnosed with high blood sugar, so I'm just learning. I sauted one diced onion for 3 minutes before adding the mushrooms. Cook your pasta "al dente", it takes longer for your body to digest, so the blood sugar doesn't spike. Anytime you use spinach, add a little nutmeg. I used 1 tablespoon of fresh rosemary and a healthy couple of shakes of Lawry's seasoned salt. The pasta absorbed the tomato juice so much that I added a second can of diced tomatoes. I also didn't add the entire amount of pasta that the recipe called for. I probably used 6 ounces, and that seemed like the right amount.
I really liked this dish. When cooking I would recommend adding salt, pepper, and a little bit more garlic and rosemary. Overall, a great recipe and I would highly recommend.
Okay people, after reading your reviews of this recipe and making it, all I can say is: "DUH!" The reason some of you say this recipe is so bland is because it has no salt and pepper. The seasoning is great, it just needs sea salt and freshly ground pepper.
Delicious. I added tomato bullion granules for extra seasoning. I also cut the oil and used chicken stock to saute.
very light. Bland but good if you have digestive problem. healthy mal doe s not take long to make on a hot day. this is the second time I made this dish.
