When my husband needed to go on a heart-smart diet, I had to come up with new ways to get more vegetables into our daily menus. This meatless spaghetti sauce is a winner and especially delicious with spinach fettuccine! Marianne Neuman of East Troy, Wisconsin Ingredients:
6 ounces uncooked fettuccine |
1 small green pepper, chopped |
1 small onion, chopped |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
2 cups garden-style pasta sauce |
1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained |
2 tablespoons minced fresh basil or 2 teaspoons dried basil |
1 teaspoon dried oregano |
1/2 teaspoon fennel seed |
1/4 teaspoon garlic salt |
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese |
Directions:
1. Cook fettuccine according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, saute green pepper and onion in oil until tender. Stir in the pasta sauce, black beans and seasonings.
2. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Drain fettuccine. Top with sauce and sprinkle with cheese. Yield: 5 servings.
