Black Bean Thai Pasta

This meal is easily one of my favorites. It's so simple, but so tasty. And I don't feel guilty about it AT ALL!

The Black Bean Spaghetti is a staple in my house. Costo sells Explore Cuisine Edamame Pasta (I use it interchangeable with the Black Bean Spaghetti). I also buy it in bulk on Amazon. We prefer this pasta for all of our pasta dishes now. Even the kids love it!

This recipe also has lots of veggies, which I LOVE! The onions and peppers in this recipe offer lots of antioxidant benefits.
