Description

This Easy Black Bean Pasta with Quick Tomato Sauce Recipe makes for a super simple dinner on a busy weeknight. Or if you need a quick meal on the weekend.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 servings black bean pasta
  • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 14.5-oz can whole peeled tomatoes
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • black pepper, to taste
  • fresh Italian parsley, chopped, optional

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large sauté pan over medium low heat. When the oil is ready, add onion and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until onions begin to turn translucent.
  2. Meanwhile, cook black bean pasta according to package directions and strain pasta. Note: Mine took about 6-8 minutes.
  3. To the onions, add garlic and cook for 60 seconds, until garlic becomes fragrant. Add tomatoes and juice from the can, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Use your cooking utensil (I like a wooden spoon with a flat top) to break the tomato into small pieces. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 10-12 minutes or until the vegetables are as tender as you’d like and the flavors are combined. Note: the tomato can pop a bit and the juice can get everywhere so be gentle…at least at first.
  4. Add pasta to your tomato sauce and stir to combine. Pour pasta into a bowl and if using, top with fresh parsley.

Notes

Note: Experiment with your sauce to pasta proportions. I found that the one can of tomatoes made enough sauce for two servings. But if you really like tomato sauce, you may want to prep just one serving of pasta for all of the sauce. See what works best for you.
