If you enjoy Mexican food, and you prefer pasta, this can be a match made in heaven. This black bean spaghetti recipe is really a perfect al dente pasta that has an ideal texture to it. You can combine experiment with the warmth of the jalapeno and chili powder, combined with the cumin, paprika, and oregano, also the tomatoes and avocados, you are able to sense how amazing the flavors will go with the chewy taste of the pasta. My friend was right, this pasta comes with a powerful flavor, and I don’t think I’d want it if it wasn’t paired with a spicy sauce, but when it is, I just can’t get enough it.

Where to buy Black Bean Spaghetti When i was walking down the isle at my local grocery store, I came across these black bean spaghetti, which I’ve needed to test forever. That has been the very first time I saw this store selling them, however if you want to get a pack, you’ll find them on Amazon – Search: Asia Organic Black Bean Spaghetti. Other online stores to buy black bean spaghetti: Walmart, Thrive Market, Vitacost, Kroger and more.

They’re gluten free and organic, sodium free, full of iron and contain only 16 g of carbs. Black bean spaghetti cook al dente, they’re full of protein and full of fiber. Interestingly they just contain organic black beans and water.

These spaghetti cook very fast, just bring a pot of water to a boil, add spaghetti, lower the heat to low and simmer gently for about 7 minutes. The texture black bean spaghetti is sort of hard to explain, only a little harder than regular semolina pasta, however you are able to still very easily bite through them. They also don’t have a smell like black beans do, at all.

A good alternative to the standard flour pasta and perfect for those who have gluten allergies. A wonderful way to incorporate more protein and fiber to your diet plan and try something new and delicious. You are able to serve the organic black bean spaghetti with your preferred sauce, sautéed vegetables or some fresh veggies. You may also add cheese , but for this recipe I decided not to.

Best part neat concerning this recipe is that, while your spaghetti are cooking, you are able to sauté your vegetables and then mix them together. With this recipe, I virtually used what I had– bell peppers, zucchini, mushrooms and onions and some sun dried tomatoes. Also the Cayenne pepper made this fresh and healthy meal extra spicy. It requires less than 30 minutes to prepare it. I chose to drizzle some lime mayo (homemade) , for additional creaminess and extra flavor.
