Healthy Recipe: Bean bolognese sauce satisfies
Beans are good for us. Martha's post about beans, the magical fruit tells us this, and the high-fiber protein powerhouse can make even the staunchest carnivores feel satisfied after a vegetarian meal that includes beans.But did you know that eating vegetarian will actually save you money? That's a big consideration right now, with the penny-pinching hitting nearly everyone in some way.
Start with this well-rounded recipe from Epicurious, Pappardelle with Bean Bolognese Sauce, and convert your meat-lovers! With three kinds of beans, tomatoes, butternut squash, and fresh rosemary, you won't be lacking for flavor.
What would I change?
- substitute plain yogurt for the whipping cream
- use brown rice pasta for whole grain benefits without sacrificing taste
- omit parmesan cheese, or subsitute raw sheep's cheese (manchego)
You don't have to sacrifice flavor or fullness when eating vegetarian, so give this recipe a try and tell us what you think!

Too bad beans don't taste very good and the texture is horrific! Well, I know some people like them, but to me, I have a super hard time getting past that really horrible texture.
