Ingredients
1 1/2 cup. elbow macaroni or other medium pasta shape3 Tbsp olive oil1 bunch scallions (about 5-6)1 1/4 tsp ground cumin2 1/4 Tbsp fresh lime juice1/8 tsp salt or to taste1 tsp black pepper or to taste12 cherry tomatoes, rinsed and quartered3 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro
Prepare pasta according to package directions. While pasta is cooking, prepare black bean salsa; heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat; add green onions and cumin and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lime juice. Add the beans, salt and pepper and toss to coat. (this salsa can be made and refrigerated for up to 1 day in advance.) Just before draining the pasta, measure 1/2 cup of the cooking water into the black bean salsa; blend well. Drain the pasta, return it to the pot and add the bean mixture. Cook over medium heat until the sauce is boiling and thick enough to lightly coat the pasta. Remove from heat and gently stir in cherry tomatoes and cilantro. Serve immediately.
