Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss 1 cup cherry tomatoes and 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper with 1 tbsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 15-20 minutes until tomatoes blister and bell pepper softens.
- Step 2: Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add 12 oz spaghetti and cook for 8-10 minutes until al dente. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta water.
- Step 3: In a large bowl, combine 1 can (15 oz) black beans, 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp chipotle powder, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp cumin, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/8 tsp black pepper. Mix until evenly coated.
- Step 4: Heat the roasted vegetables and black bean mixture in the same pot over medium heat for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Step 5: Add the drained spaghetti and 2 tbsp reserved pasta water to the pot. Toss for 2 minutes until pasta is coated and sauce thickens, adding more reserved pasta water if needed.
- Step 6: Remove from heat. Stir in 1/4 cup fresh cilantro and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese until combined. Serve immediately.
