Ingredients:
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil |
1 onion, halved and thinly sliced |
1 poblano chile pepper, seeded and sliced |
1 teaspoon chili powder |
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin |
kosher salt |
8 ounces whole-wheat spaghetti, broken into thirds |
1 14 -ounce can diced fire-roasted tomatoes |
2 cups fat-free low-sodium chicken broth |
1 14 -ounce can kidney beans, drained and rinsed |
1 bunch cilantro, leaves chopped (about 1/2 loosely packed cup) |
2 ounces monterey jack cheese, shredded (about 1/2 cup) |
Directions:
1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and poblano and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly soft, about 3 minutes. Add the chili powder, cumin and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook 2 more minutes. Add the uncooked spaghetti and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly toasted, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the tomatoes and simmer until some of the liquid is absorbed, about 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth and increase the heat to high; bring to a boil and cook 1 minute. Reduce the heat to medium low, cover and simmer until the spaghetti is almost fully cooked, about 6 more minutes. Uncover and stir in the beans and all but 2 tablespoons of the cilantro; continue simmering until the spaghetti is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 3 more minutes.
3. Divide the pasta and beans among bowls and top with the remaining cilantro and the cheese.
