Ingredients:
- 1 box bowtie pasta
- 2 12 oz. cans tomato sauce
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 2 red bell peppers
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 hot Italian sausages (raw, so you can just use the meat not in sausage form)
- a pinch of red pepper flakes
- salt, pepper, olive oil
Instructions:
- Roast the red peppers: turn gas burner on high and just burn the hell out of the bell peppers. Get a good black char on them and set them aside.
- Cook diced onion on medium heat in olive oil until softened but not browned. Add garlic and red pepper flakes to the pan and reduce heat to low.
- Meanwhile, run bell peppers under cold water and peel of charred skin. Roughly chop the peppers and add to onions and garlic.
- Add cans of sauce to the onions and puree the mixture. Add pasta to salted boiling water.
- Cooked ground sausage in a separate pan. When cooked, add to sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste. Drain cooked pasta and mix into sauce. Serve with parmesan cheese.
Ingredients:
- 1 sweet potato
- 12 oz. can of black beans
- half of a white/yellow onion, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 12 oz. can of enchilada sauce
- 6 whole wheat tortillas
- salt, coriander, cumin, and other Mexican spices
- sharp white cheddar, grated
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 and cook the onion and garlic in a little olive oil on medium-low heat for a few minutes until softened.
- Pour in the black beans and add spices to your liking, probably about a teaspoon each of ground coriander, ground cumin, and ground chipotle pepper. Let this mixture cook. Mix in half of the cheese.
- Meanwhile, microwave the sweet potato for 5 minutes, or until soft to the touch. Peel and chop into small cubes and mix into bean mixture. Add salt to taste.
- Dip the tortillas in the enchilada sauce, stuff with the bean mixture, and roll and place in pan. Cover the enchiladas with the rest of the sauce and sprinkle cheese on top. Bake at 350 degrees for about 25 minutes or until cheese on top is melted.
