Veggie Pasta

I saw a recipe that was basic spaghetti with a can of black beans in it.  It got me to thinking (dangerous, I know), and here is what I came up with!  It was Delicious!  And my house smelled amazing!

Ingredients:
2 Green zucchini's
1/2 Green pepper
1/2 Small onion
3/4 Box Rotini pasta
1/2 Jar spaghetti sauce (or more if you like)
1 Pkg mild italian sausage
1 Can black beans

Directions:
*Cut the zucchini into small bite sized pieces.  Put them into a skillet with a bit of oil and cook until done (flip them as needed.  Takes about 7-10 minutes cooking on medium heat).

*Take the zucchini out of the pan and set aside.  (I just put mine in a small bowl).

*In the skillet, put your meat and onion (cut the onion into tiny pieces).  You can buy the italian sausage ground or in casings.  I only had the pack of 5, in casings, in my freezer.  If you use the casings one, cut a long line on them, the pull out the meat and then throw  the casings away.  It will chop up like ground meat easily.

*Cook the meat and onions until cooked through.

*Add the green peppers (which you have cut into small pieces) and spaghetti sauce and continue to cook for a few minutes.

*Add the black beans and zucchini to the mixture.  Cook through.

*Cook your pasta as directed on box.

*Drain pasta, then throw all the meat mixture into the pasta pot with the drained noodles.  Mix it all well.  Serve on plates with parmesean cheese and shredded cheese.  YUM!
