Ingredients

100 grams black soybean spaghetti
2 teaspoons light olive oil
½ cup red bell pepper, chopped
½ cup broccoli florets
1 clove garlic, chopped
¼ teaspoon salt
1 dash black pepper
½ teaspoon dried oregano
2 tablespoons fresh basil. chopped

Equipment

Large pot
Small or medium pan
paring knife
Cutting board

Method

Cook the pasta in boiling water according to package directions (4 -6 minutes for the brand I used). Drain in a colander when done.
Heat the olive oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add the red pepper and stir occasionally for 2 minutes. Add the broccoli, garlic, salt, pepper, and oregano. Cook for another 5 minutes or so until the broccoli is bright green. Stir occasionally to prevent the garlic from burning. You can start this step while the water is heating.
Add the spaghetti to the pan and combine with the other ingredients. Portion on two plates and top with chopped fresh basil.
