This looks very interesting and nutritional. I have never seen this product before but like the idea of giving it a try in place of the usual spaghetti. I like the addition of the broccoli with the pasta.
This recipe reminds me I still have a 20 pound bag of black beans to use so must get to it. Buying some ready-made ingredients is so helpful after a busy day though. I love the sesame seeds in this recipe. I don’t use them enough in recipes and they really add to the flavor, especially when toasted.
I like the flavors in the sauce. I like using fresh ginger and always have it on hand.
I love how all sorts of vegetable are now being made into pasta. It is another way to be able to consume veggies . The peanut sauce will make it even more tasty.
I have never heard of Organic Black Bean Spaghetti before but this sounds so good and healthy. I so want to try this recipe out now and I think it is perfect for this time of year nice and light.
