Spinach and Black Beans

 

Ingredients

2 bunches of spinach – preferably organic
1-15 oz. can of black beans
1-15 oz. can of tomato sauce
1 head of garlic
1 lb. of bow tie – (farfalle) pasta
sea salt
4 oz. extra virgin olive oil

 

Preparation

Wash the spinach thoroughly. There is usually a lot of dirt in spinach. Never buy the ready to eat bagged spinach. It is treated to keep that look. Set the spinach aside to drain. Drain and rinse the beans, set aside.

Lets get that pasta water going. 3 quarts with ½ tsp. of sea salt.

 

Heat the oil in a 5 quart pan until ripples appear and a slight smoke. Add a ½ tsp. of the sea salt. Add the peeled and crushed garlic cloves and sauté until slightly golden. Remove and try one, it is great.

 

Toss in the spinach. Stir constantly. In about one minute add the sauce and stir. In about one more minute add the beans. Stir and set aside.

 

Drain the pasta and add half of the pasta into the spinach mixture and stir. Allow to sit for about one minute. Add the rest of the pasta and serve.

 

Serves 6-8 people

This dish will never be found in a restaurant. The leftovers make for a great lunch the next day.
