Looks and sounds both delicious and intriguing.. do you drain the beans, or use all the juice?

I usually drain and rinse the beans before using.

Hi Madhuram
I love almost all kinds of beans and pasta. Made it last night using Whole Wheat Penne Pasta, Mexican Black Beans and home made Pasta Sauce. Thank you so much for this great idea.

You’re welcome abc.

You’re extremely artistic, Madhu. I was browsing thru some of your recipes today and that struck me! –Deepa

Thanks Deepa. Sometimes it’s (food styling) my husband’s idea too.

Hey i have this one Can of Pinto beans lying in my refrigerator,which was a result of my greedy shopping ,when i chanced upon it at a new food mall,i thought it to be exotic and cudnt help purchasing it(i m soooo bad).Will that go with this spaghetti? or does anywhere around have some good recipe with it?something acceptable to Indian or Indochinese palette.

Pinto beans is a mushier than kidney beans. So you cannot stir it very well, because it will get mashed. You can eat it plain or toss it in a salad.

i have been adding garbanzo beans to my pasta sauce for years. They add an appropriate Italian flavor. More so than kidney. Try it yourself.
