Bean Bolognese

This was definitely not worth the effort. Followed the recipe exactly, and it turned out very bland. Hardly any flavor. I had t doctor it up quite a bit in order for me and my husband to eat it. Won't bother it this again. Pros: Easy to make Cons: Very bland

Yum! This took me about an hour to make - mostly because the large pot of water takes so long to boil and because of chopping the carrots, celery, garlic, etc. I used this new "garden" fettuccini, which has whole wheat, tomato, and spinach pasta all in one box, which I think gave it a little extra flavor. I also chopped a fresh tomato instead of using the canned version (i'm always weary of how much salt is in canned veggies). It still came out great, however, I think there would have been more juice in the sauce if I had gone with the can. But, once everything is chopped and boiled, this is very easy to make! And delicious! I shared with a friend and she agreed! Cons: lots of chopping

Suprising Creamy! Loved the mixture. We do like spices a so I added a couple of dashes of red pepper and it really spiced it up. Won't change a thing other than that. Pros: Tasty Cons: Can only eat so much

YUM! I made this for myself and only cooked 1/2 the package of pasta and evenly split the bean mixture over it, it turned out to be the perfect portions for one another. This gave me dinner and lunch, which for me is economical on my budget. I used a can of diced tomatoes with roasted garlic & onions in place of 1/2 an onion and 4 cloves of garlic. I think that helped cut down on some of the taste you can get with straight onion & garlic, and would definitely do that again. I also used separate cans of pinto, kidney and garbanzo beans instead of salad beans since I typically have those on hand already in my pantry. Will absolutely keep this in my lineup of dinner selections! Pros: Healthy, meatless, tasty, plenty of beany protein Cons: Adjust your measurements

Good meatless meal. It was easy to fix and both my husband and I liked it.

Wonderful recipe! I used white beans and regular spaghetti (instead of whole wheat). It filled my husband and me up with out being heavy. Very easy to make and I had everything in my pantry! I'm going to vary this with different beans and such. Black beans and cilantro maybe instead of white beans and parsley, for example.

I love this this dish! It satisfies my meaty-pasta craving like no other healthy meal can.

Really good pasta sauce. Good taste and texture.

As a pasta-loving vegetarian, this is the perfect meal for me. Came out great with white and pink kidney beans. I would like to note, though, that it's difficult to find canned diced tomatoes without tons of added salt, which is gross. I left out the salt called for in the recipe, and the dish did not suffer for it.

Surprisingly good! I'm not a huge bean fan, but my family is trying to eat healthier so I tried this recipe. It was delicious, both my husband, a meat & potato guy, and my 10 year old loved it! Definitely adding to the rotation. I did add 1/4 - 1/3 c of tomato sauce to the sauce & it was perfect!

I just made this and I used fire roasted diced tomatoes - It is a keeper, I will make it again and again
