I tried a new pasta recipe last week and really liked it - Spicy Black Bean Fettucine!
You'll Need:
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tbls chili powder
2 tsps cumin
1 tbls minced garlic
3 jalapenos (seeded and sliced up)
1 bunch green onions (chopped)
1 can black beans (drained and rinsed)
1 Roma tomato
1/2 cup cilantro (chopped)
1/2 cup Mexican cheese
Fettucine pasta
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Heat olive oil in skillet, add chili powder, cumiin, and garlic. Mix together and add chicken - turn chicken over several times to drench the chicken in the sauce. After chicken is cooked through remove chicken from skillet and slice into small pieces. In the same skillet (you should still have a "sauce" like substance of the olive oil and spices) add the green onions and jalapenos. Saute 3 minutes, then add blackbeans and let them heat for another 3 minutes. Add chicken and cheese and heat thoroughly. Remove from heat and stir in tomatoes and fettucine. Top with cilantro.
It's definitely not the prettiest looking dish, but it tastes delicious!
*The actual recipe calls for Black Pepper Fettucine - I only had regular so that's what I used. It also called for Feta cheese - I don't particularly love Feta so I subbed in mexican cheese. I think it tasted great the way I made it but will probably try the black pepper fettucine next time to see what it tastes like.
