Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 small onion diced

2 or 3 good sized garlic cloves diced

1 14.5 oz can of diced tomatoes (I use Kirkland)

1 15 oz can black beans (also from Costco)

1 teaspoon salt

1 table spoon dried basil

ground black pepper as needed

A couple dashes of Tabasco


Instructions

Dice onion and garlic and saute' in olive oil in a sauce pan

Add the entire contents of the can of black beans into the sauce pan (do not rinse the beans)

Add the can of diced tomatoes and bring to a simmer

Add salt, basil, pepper and tabasco

Simmer the sauce for 20 to 30 minutes.

Optional step: After the pasta has been drained, stir in a quarter of the sauce and cook on low for a minute or two as you mix thoroughly to coat the pasta with sauce. Serve with additional sauce on the pasta.
