Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

8 ounces Bow Ties, Elbow Macaroni or other medium

pasta shape -- uncooked

2 tablespoons olive oil

OR

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 bunch scallions -- trimmed and thinly sliced (green and white

parts)

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin

1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

1 15-ounce can black beans -- drained and rinsed well

1/4 teaspoon salt -- or to taste

Freshly ground black pepper -- to taste

8 cherry tomatoes -- rinsed and quartered

2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

 

Prepare pasta according to package directions. While pasta is cooking, heat the

oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add scallions and cumin and cook for

2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the lime juice. Add the beans, salt and

pepper and toss to coat. (The salsa can be made and refrigerated up to one day

in advance.)

Just before draining the pasta, measure 1/2 cup of the cooking water into the

black bean salsa. Drain the pasta, return it to the pot and add the bean

mixture. Cook over medium heat until the sauce is boiling and thick enough to

lightly coat the pasta. Remove the pot from heat and gently stir in cherry

tomatoes and cilantro. Serve immediately.
