EASY BLACK BEAN PASTA WITH QUICK TOMATO SAUCE RECIPE

Steps:

• 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.
• Meanwhile, cook black bean pasta according to package directions and strain pasta. Note: Mine took about 6-8 minutes.
• 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.
• Add pasta to your tomato sauce and stir to combine. Pour pasta into a bowl and if using, top with fresh parsley.

FRESH AND EASY VEGGIE SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a wide skillet with sides over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally until translucent; 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add zucchini, yellow squash, garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes, and a generous pinch of salt then cook, stirring occasionally until softened but still with some crunch; 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook another minute. (When making this sauce, we usually end up using between 1 and 1 1/2 teaspoons of fine sea salt.)
• Add the roasted red peppers, tomatoes, and mushroom powder. Bring to a low simmer and cook until the liquid has thickened and reduced by half; about 10 minutes. As the sauce cooks, use a spoon to break up the whole tomatoes into smaller pieces for a chunky sauce.
• While the sauce simmers, bring a large pot of salted water to the boil then cook pasta according to package directions.
• Take the sauce off of the heat, and then stir in the spinach and basil. Taste then adjust with additional salt if needed. Toss in the cooked pasta, and then leave for a minute so that the pasta absorbs some of the sauce and the spinach wilts. Toss again, and then serve with parmesan or nutritional yeast sprinkled on top.

VEGETARIAN CUBAN BLACK BEANS

Steps:

• Add the beans to a large bowl, cover with water and let stand overnight. Drain and discard the water or cook in a pressure cooker for 18 to 25 minutes (do not discard the water if using the pressure cooker).
• In a large Dutch oven, add the beans, 9 cups of water and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Cover and bring to a boil over medium heat. Simmer for 1 hour until the beans are fork tender.
• In a separate Dutch oven add the onion, green pepper, garlic and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and saute until opaque. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. (If using a pressure cooker, do not use the pressure cooker to saute the beans any further. Use a heavy pot or a Dutch oven.)
• Add the cooked beans, to the pot with the onion mixture, along with the oregano, cumin, bay leaf, vinegar and wine. Cover and simmer over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add additional salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer the beans to a serving bowl and serve over the Fail-Proof Brown Rice.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a medium skillet, add the brown rice and the egg white, stirring constantly over medium heat, until the mixture is dry. Mix the water and bouillon cube in a medium bowl.
• Add a small amount of olive oil to a deep, large baking dish. (Cook's Note: I recommend a clear baking dish so you can monitor the water absorption).
• Pour the bouillon water, rice and egg mixture into the baking dish. Put the dish in the oven, and do not interrupt the cooking process. After 30 minutes, cover with foil and continue to cook for 30 more minutes, a total of 1 hour. Remove from oven, fluff with fork and serve.
