Healthy Kidney Bean Pasta

We went to Disney World a few weeks ago.  Before we left, Marcus made this delicious Healthy Kidney Bean Pasta to help use up some of the stuff in the pantry.  I am not really a pasta person myself, but I thought this was awesome!  We used gluten free brown rice pasta, but I am sure any pasta will work. If you love easy dinner ideas check out this post too.  Some of Marcus’s other creations have been the sweet potato chili and the peanut noodle stir fry.

This Healthy Kidney Bean Pasta doesn’t take long at all to make.  I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
