Chelsea C. says:

I thought this was a really good pasta. I added sautéed shrimp for some protein. I've never had beans and pasta together before, but it worked.

Gene White says:

We served this pasta cold, with a side of fish. The fresh basil and mozzarella really rounded out this dish. We used garbanzo instead of black beans, and crushed the tomatoes. Delicious recipe!
