Vegetarian Bean Pasta Recipes

Steps:

• Cook fettuccine according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms; cook and stir 4-6 minutes or until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer., Stir in black beans, tomatoes, rosemary and oregano; heat through. Stir in spinach until wilted. Drain fettuccine; add to bean mixture and toss to combine.

Steps:

• Start water in large pot to boil noodles.
• Heat oil in a wide/deep skillet (or pot large enough for all ingredients except noodles),blade crush and mince garlic, add when oil is hot.
• Dice fresh tomatoes or open cans quickly so the garlic doesn't burn; slightly brown is fine, but garlic needs only a brief period to release aroma.
• Add tomatoes, parsley, oregano, and I add pepper now too if coarse black pepper is available; if not, just add some fine black to taste when serving.
• When tomato mixture begins to bubble, cover and reduce heat to simmer (about 3 min).
• Now is a good time to drain noodles if you haven't already.
• Make sure you drain off all excess water, and please don't add oil to noodles.
• Time to add beans and olives to tomatoes, cook 1 minute.
• Serve as common noodles by pour over or mixing, sprinkle with cheese or salt/pepper to taste.
• If you used fresh parsley and have any left over you can sprinkle that on top, how versatile.
