Pasta con Frijoles offers a unique blend of flavors that marry traditional Italian pasta with the hearty goodness of Mexican beans, perfect for a satisfying meal tonight!

1

Begin by boiling water in a large pot. Once boiling, add 2 cups of pasta and cook according to package instructions, typically around 10-12 minutes until al dente.

2

While the pasta is cooking, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

3

Chop the onion, garlic, and bell pepper into small pieces. Add these to the skillet and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until softened.

4

Drain and rinse the black beans, then add them to the skillet along with 1 teaspoon of cumin. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

5

Once the pasta is done, drain it and add it to the skillet with the bean mixture. Toss gently to combine and heat through for about 2-3 minutes.

6

Finely chop the cilantro and squeeze the juice of 1 lime over the pasta. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

7

Serve warm, garnished with extra cilantro if desired.

• Add diced avocado on top for creaminess.
• Mix in some cooked corn for added texture and sweetness.
• Top with crumbled feta or queso fresco for a salty contrast.

• Make sure to cook the pasta just until al dente; it will continue to cook slightly when mixed with the hot beans.
• Use fresh cilantro and lime juice just before serving to maintain their fresh flavor.
• Feel free to experiment with different types of beans, like pinto or kidney beans.
