Equipment
Method
- Start by boiling a pot of salted water. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water and drain the rest.
- In the meantime, heat the olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and a pinch of salt. Sauté for about 10 minutes or until golden brown and tender.
- Stir in the black beans, ground cumin, and lime juice and zest into the pan with the potatoes. Cook for an additional 5 minutes until everything is heated through.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta with the spinach and the potato-bean mixture. Toss gently, adding a bit of the reserved pasta water if needed to loosen the mixture.
- Serve the pasta bowl with sliced avocado on top, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, and a generous drizzle of tahini.
