Pasta With Black Beans And Spinach

 

Recipe By :

Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00

Categories : Pasta, Couscous, Etc. Vegetables

Quick Beans And Legumes

 

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

26 ounces pasta sauce

15 ounces black beans, canned -- rinsed and drained

10 ounces frozen chopped spinach

10 ounces angel hair pasta -- up to 12

Fat Free Parmesan cheese

 

Put water on to cook pasta and cook pasta. Meanwhile, over medium heat in

a large saucepan, heat your favorite pasta sauce. Defrost spinach on high

for 3 to 4 minutes in the microwave (or leave in refrigerator to defrost in

the A.M.). Drain most of the liquid and add spinach to the sauce. Rinse

and drain the black beans and add to sauce. By this time the water should

be boiling - so cook and drain the pasta. Add to the sauce and mix. Serve

with Parmesan cheese. Leftovers taste just as good.
