What You'll Need
Ingredients
  • 1.5 cups your choice of pasta
  • 3/4 cup hydrated black beans
  • 2 shallots
  • 1 tablespoon margarine
  • 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
  • 1 tablespoon oil, devided
  • 1 teaspoon fennel seeds
  • 1 teaspoon dark mustard
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon fried garlic, crushed
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed black pepper
  • 4 large basil leafs
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice
Directions
  1. Bring a lightly oiled saute pan to a high setting as you begin boiling your water for the noodles.
  2. Coarsely chop the shallots and add to heated saute pan. Toss a few times and then add (1 tbsp) fennel seeds. Saute, turning constantly, until onions have blackened. Add (1 tbsp) mustard and continue to saute until mustard has reduced considerably. During this your water should have finished boiling, so add your noodles.
  3. Remove shallots from heat and let sit to settle until the noodles have completely cooked.
  4. Drain water, and set onto a medium heat, adding the last of the oil. Mix in (3/4 cup) black beans, margarine, shallots, salt, pepper, and crushed garlic. Cook and stir for a few minutes. Top with nutritional yeast and fresh basil, and turn off the heat. Continue to stir until consistent.
