This healthy Vegetarian Black Bean Pasta recipe from Taste of Home tastes fantastic, is easy to make and takes the recipe-advertised less than 30 minutes to prepare. Since I need as much plant-based protein and as few carbs as possible, I used Explore Cuisine’s Organic Edamame & Mung Bean Fettuccine (Affiliate Link) instead of whole wheat fettuccine. This also makes it gluten-free, which can always be accomplished by replacing wheat pasta with any gluten-free version.

I prefer my pasta salads at least a little bit warm, but this would be good cold or at room temperature as well.
