My local Aldi store started carrying a variety of bean/legume based pastas - soybean, black bean, green pea and occasionally red lentil. I decided to try the soybean in a simple avocado oil on pasta side.

Takeaway: Not bad! It reminded me of a whole wheat pasta.

My favorite so far has been the red lentil. Next up, black bean. The pasta is actually black! How cool is that!

If you’ve been bean pasta curious, I say go for it!
