Black Bean Spaghetti

Do you want to try a healthier version of your favorite spaghetti?

If so, I have a simple black bean spaghetti recipe, made with vegetables.

This meal is quick to prepare, fresh, light and a little spicy.

Walking down the isle at my local Costco, I stumbled upon these black bean spaghetti, which I’ve wanted to try forever.

That was the first time I saw Costco selling them, but if you want to get a pack, you can find them on Amazon -Explore Asia Organic Black Bean Spaghetti.

They are organic and gluten free, sodium free, rich in iron and contain only 17 g of carbs per serving.

Black bean spaghetti cook al dente, they are high in protein and high in fiber.

Surprisingly they only contain organic black beans and water.

These cook very quickly, just bring a pot of water to a boil, add spaghetti, reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 7-8 minutes.

The water does turn black, while they are being cooked.

The texture of these black bean spaghetti is kind of hard to describe, a little harder than regular semolina pasta, but you can still easily bite through them.

Honestly, everyone who tasted this meal liked it.

They do not smell like black beans at all.

I’m surprised with the taste of and I’ll definitely experiment and use them in other recipes.

A great alternative to the regular flour/semolina pasta and perfect for people with gluten allergies.

A nice way to add more protein and fiber to your diet and try something new.

You can serve the organic black bean spaghetti with your favorite sauce, sautéed vegetables or some fresh veggies.

You can also add cheese to them, but this time I decided not to.

A great thing about this recipe is that, while your spaghetti are cooking, you can sauté your vegetables and then mix them together.

For this recipe, I pretty much used what I had – bell peppers, zucchini, mushrooms and onions.

And also some sun dried tomatoes.

Cayenne pepper made this fresh and light meal extra spicy.

It takes less than 30 minutes to prepare it. I decided to drizzle some lime mayo (which I made myself) on top, for extra creaminess and extra flavor.

I also found a nice recipe for black bean spaghetti on snixykitchen.com, which I might try in the future. Check it out if interested.

  6. Nice thank you I found a fast delivery free shipping for Organic Black Bean Spaghetti here https://goo.gl/cY4QEL

  7. Your recipe is lovely but the black bean spaghetti is awful! And it’s deceptively labeled as it is made of black SOY bean, not black turtle beans. Those avoiding soy products due to estrogen concerns (or other medical reasons) should not buy this product. As for the taste of it, my family and I found it too chewy, bland, and unsatisfying; nothing objectionable really, but once I learned it was a soy product the taste/texture made more sense to me. I’ll stick with Barilla protein or high fiber pastas instead — and make them with beans or lentils for the real taste. 😉

  8. Tried this recipe a few weeks ago.  We LOVED it.  Definitely make the lime mayo – I only made half a batch of it but will ALWAYS make the full batch for this dish, it’s that good with it.  Lots of chopping of veggies, but well worth it.  At the time, I didn’t “Pin” it so had to search again, and thankfully found it.  Yum yum yum…
    Hubby loved it too.  

  9. This is defininitely the way to prepare black soybean spahetti, it is wonderful. I used sweet Hungarian paprika because you didn’t specify, but next time it’ll be smoked paprika. and I didn’t have mushrooms so I increased the zucchini to3C and it worked fine. also am sad that you didn’t list the protein value in your nutrition statement.
