Method

  • Step 1

    Sauté one small onion in oil with a pinch of garlic paste.

  • Step 2

    Add 1 small 6oz can of tomato paste, mix it up and add in your spices: 1 TBSP ground coriander, 1 TBSP tomato bouillon, 1 tsp salt (you’ll need more later to adjust to your preference), 1 tsp dried mint, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp turmeric, 1/2 tsp black pepper. Mix and stir for a few minutes.

  • Step 3

    Add in water until the pot is full a little over half.

  • Step 4

    Close the lid and let this come to a boil.

  • Step 5

    Once boiled, add in noodles of choice (spaghetti, linguine or fettuccine will work well just make sure to break it up. I used oriental noodles).

  • Step 6

    Allow the noodles to soften a little over halfway then add in drained beans.

  • Step 7

    Let the noodles finish softening and the liquid reduce and thicken just a bit (adjust your salt if needed, I added more).

  • Step 8

    You are ready to serve and top with whatever you like!
