This black bean pasta recipe can be on your table in less than thirty minutes, and only requires 4 ingredients. Who doesn't love that when time is short, and everyone is hungry?
In my opinion, the black bean pasta is superior to wheat pasta because it packs 14 grams of protein and 15 grams of fiber in every serving. When you add vegetables, you have a completely nutritionally balanced meal with the bonus of great flavor.

This is vegan, gluten free, dairy free.
Ingredients
This bowl is wholesome, packed with nutritious foods that compliment each other and quick to prep. It's made with just:

- mushrooms
- yellow and red bell peppers
Then just add salt + pepper and marinara to personal taste preferences.
Variations
The yellow + red bell peppers add a nice sweetness to this, but you can also substitute them for more greens, such as:

If you like a little heat in your dish, red chili flakes are a great addition.
