¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper, or to taste. Optional: 1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed (If you're opting for rice or regular pasta, I'd recommend throwing in some black beans!)Īvocado crema (recipe slightly adapted from Shared Appetite)Ģ tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice Optional: ½ cup of shredded monterey jack and a lime, for serving. ½ jalapeño pepper, ribs & seeds removed and minced (for spicy, add the whole jalapeño)Ģ ears fresh sweet corn, boiled and cut off the cobġ red bell pepper, ribs & seeds removed and chopped into ½-inch piecesġ 14.5-ounce can diced fire-roasted tomatoes Simultaneously spicy, fresh, and cool, this is a dish that everyone can love. We pulled on our black bean chili stuffed peppers recipe to create a perfectly seasoned sauce for this Southwestern spaghetti. Except you don't need to feel one ounce of regret when you dip your spoon into the giant dollop of avocado crema you load on top (Thanks to Chris Shared Appetite for the healthy avocado crema idea!). I packed Southwestern platter with fresh corn, bell peppers, onion, mushrooms, and roasted tomatoes - heavy on the spices and drizzled with a skinny greek yogurt avocado crema that mimics sour cream. Since the black bean noodle flavor is so mild, you can easily sub in your favorite pasta or rice, adding some black beans to the party. Along with their mung bean pasta, Explore Asian sent me a bag of their organic gluten-free black bean noodles a few weeks ago, and I instantly knew I wanted to turn it into a Southwestern spaghetti. Grab the cayenne, paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, pepper, and toss it in. Even when you need something quick, why not spice things up a bit? Literally. This is the dish that guarantees to get you out of your rut of the same old 30-minute weeknight meals. Resume talking about this spicy spaghetti. Make it a chain letter - "Forward to 20 people in the next 20 minutes or will happen." Too extreme? Just think, you could send a steaming bowl of this Southwestern black bean spaghetti to school and it'd still be warm at lunch time!

If you've got a kid in school, or even just know and love a kid, please check it out and pass it along to all your friends. And - drum roll please - the OmieLife website is live today! Their first product, OmieBox, is a kid's lunchbox that allows parents to pack hot or cold food in the same box.
Lucas has been up until 2 or 3am the past few weeks, toiling over all the details that go into kicking off a three-person start-up. With meal planning, though, we get to eat things like this Southwestern black bean spaghetti in barely no time.
Which means we either end up going out to dinner or shredding cheese between whatever gluten-free bread or tortillas we have in the fridge. Without it, we'd both forget to think about dinner until our growling stomachs reminded us around 7:30 or 8pm when it's much too late to figure something out, go to the market, and cook. With Lucas's Kickstarter launching in 3 weeks and my obsession with optimizing my upcoming blog makeover, our weekly meal planning has been a life saver. Are you way too busy to cook and just need a quick and healthy meal for your weekly rotation? Us too.
