This is delicious, spicy, and easy! Go make it now :)
- 1 box (approx 12oz) pasta – I used Barilla Veggie Penne Pasta
- 1 can (approx 15oz) black beans (don’t drain!)
- 3 Tbsp Tahini
- 3 Tbsp Sriracha
- 2 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce
- 1 Tbsp lime juice
- 1 tsp Agave (or any sweetener)
- 4 scallions, chopped
- 1 Tbsp sesame seeds
Directions:
- Cook pasta according to package directions
- Put the black beans, tahini, sriracha, soy sauce, lime juice, and Agave in a food processor and blend until creamy
- Transfer the black bean “sauce” to a large bowl and add the scallions.
- Drain the cooked pasta, pour it into the bowl with everything else, and mix it all together. Then top with the sesame seeds.
- Serve and enjoy!

Laura, My entire family loves Siracha, so this is definitely going on the menu for our next get-together. Is it 15oz of black beans, including the can’s water or of just the beans themselves? I usually soak my own black beans and would like to make sure I get the beans to water ratio accurate. Thank you for sharing this great idea!
It’s a 15 ounce can plus the liquid. If you’re using your own beans just add about 1.5 to 2 cups vegetable broth. Hope you like it!!
