FRESH BLACK BEAN SPAGHETTI WITH ZOODLES
When my Spiral Vegetable Slicer arrived via UPS I didn’t waste any time and started using it right away. I wasn’t too sure how Tim would take to not having pasta but to my surprise he really enjoyed the raw vegetables.
Today’s Fresh Black Bean Spaghetti with Zoodles has developed from my more adventurous side. The recipe is gluten free, vegan and uses real food from what I have in my garden at present (except the black beans). I hope you enjoy it.

This was actually a gift to myself months ago and I”ve been so stinkin’ busy I haven’t even cracked the box – very frustrated at that. I hope to get it out soon. Your dish looks amazing! Carrie, A Mother’s Shadow
I love mine. You should pull yours out of the box!Thanks for coming by Carrie. Always a pleasure.
Shari,
We have been eating a lot of Zucchini Spaghetti lately too. I got a Mandolin this summer. Anyway, it is awesome. Even my picky teenage meat and tators boy loves it.
The Black Bean Spaghetti sounds really delicious on the zucchini. YUM!
Blessings,
Diane Roark
Thanks Diane. I was surprised my husband enjoyed them too!
Wow, this looks so good and seriously as a pasta and Mexican lover so want to try. I definitely have this one on my list now and thank you so much Shari for sharing 🙂
