Black Linguini with Green Veggies Recipe
by Gourmandelle LifestyleBlog
I was really hungry today and I wanted to cook something tasty but fast. I’ve been eating eggs for the past 2 days because I had no time for cooking, fortunately today is not such a stressful day.
I found a pack of black linguini in my pantry. I never cooked linguini before and I decided to give it a try. I know that black linguini is usually cooked with seafood but I tried something different. It works just as well with veggies and it is delicious; a lot better than regular pasta. I don’t know if it’s the color that I like so much, or the texture, but I know that I’ll be cooking this more often.

Ingredients
-
200g black linguini (egg free for vegans)
-
2 cherry tomatoes
-
½ cup sliced mushrooms (I used champignons)
-
1 cup mixed fresh herbs – parsley, dill – chopped
-
½ cup green beans
-
½ cup peas
-
1 small, diced onion
|
-
2-3 tbs whole wheat flour
-
¼ tsp sea salt
-
1 tsp dry garlic
-
¼ tsp ground pepper
-
¼ tsp ground coriander
-
1 tbs unrefined sunflower oil
-
water as needed (about 1 cup)
|
Directions
- Boil the linguini for about 12-13 minutes.
- Heat the oil in the wok or a large skillet. Add the mushrooms, green beans, peas and onion.
- Sauté for about 10 minutes then add ½ cup of water and let the veggies boil until tender. Cover with a lid. *
- Mix in a small bowl ½ cup of water with 2-3 tbs whole wheat flour. Stir until you get a thicker consistency. Add this over the vegetables in the wok and stir.
- Add the spices: sea salt, pepper, coriander, garlic.
- In a large bowl mix everything together including the fresh chopped herbs.
- Garnish with cherry tomatoes.
- It is better to steam the veggies but this takes longer. I had to prepare this dish super-fast. You can steam them and then sauté for 5 minutes just to mix with all spices.
