    Black Bean Rotini

    Are you always looking for a filling and flavorful dish that not a major carbohydrate overload?  I think that this is that dish.

    Black bean rotini is a pasta that has extra protein from the black beans,  not all the carbs that you will find in standard flour based pasta. 

    One serving contains 14 grams of protein and 15 grams of fiber!

    That is so healthy, it almost seems like it couldn't possibly be pasta.  I took this black bean pasta recipe and added vegetables, artichokes, peppers, kale and leeks and a basic red sauce to give it some yummy and topped with Trader Joe's vegan mozzarella cheese. 

    ingredients including soy cheese, trader joes  black bean rotini, bruschetta red sauce

    I love this recipe because it uses high quality legumes to add fiber and protein, which means it doesn't need meat. This lets us cut down on our meat consumption, which is great for reducing our environmental footprint.

    If you don't need this be vegan, you can use our homemade mozzarella recipe.

    Seriously, ready in less than 30 minutes, it was better than I could have imagined. 

    Ingredients

    This recipe is full of wholesome, nutritious vegetables including:

    • black beans (pasta)
    • red peppers
    • leeks
    • artichoke hearts
    • baby kale

    Variations

    You can include almost any variation of vegetables in here by adding them to the stir fry. I'd try things like:

    • snow peas
    • green beans
    • mushrooms
    • green peppers
    • onions
    • baby corn
