Black Bean Pasta Bowl
Black Bean Pasta Bowl. This pasta bowl 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 added bonus of great flavor. Vegan, gluten free, dairy free.

Notes
I usually prefer fresh herbs, but because it is winter, I used dried Italian seasoning for garnish. Check back in summer though, because I am launching some serious herb growing!
