Course: Main Course
Cuisine: Italian, Mexican
Servings: 2 people's

Ingredients

  • 2.5 cups diced veggies I like to use corn, bell pepper, and zucchini
  • 1 cup cooked black beans
  • 1.5 cups cooked pasta
  • 1 cup pasta sauce I like the Prego sensitive sauce. If you are using plain sauce from a can, then it will have to be flavored/seasoned.
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp taco seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp chipotle chili seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp cumin powder
  • 1/2 tsp red chili powder
  • 1/4 tsp hing or asafetida
  • 1/4 cup cheddar cheese can substitute with vegan cheese as well

Instructions

  • Warm oil on a pan.
  • Add in the cumin seeds.
  • Once the cumin seeds began popping, add in the chopped veggies, cooked black beans, and pasta sauce.
  • Add in all the spices listed above. Stir and let veggies cook under almost tender.
  • Add in the cooked pasta.
  • Add in the water (adjust based on how thick you want the sauce).
  • Add in the shredded cheese.
  • Say a prayer of gratitude and enjoy!
