Nigella’s Slut’s Spaghetti
Who doesn’t love a steaming bowl of pasta as a quick, hearty, tasty meal? I am not immune to the charms of a bowl of pasta, especially a tomato-based sauce.
I recently bought a packet of black bean spaghetti at my local IGA. It looked cool (hey, black spaghetti!), and had 44% protein and heaps of fibre, making it super good for you.
The spaghetti kept falling out of my cupboard at me for a couple of months until I finally decided I needed me some pasta. I grabbed a sadly neglected book from my shelf, Nigella Lawson’s Kitchen, to find a recipe for a sauce for my spaghetti. Kitchen is a great book - it has just been drowned in the sheer volume of cookbooks that I possess.
Nigella reliably had a recipe for Slut’s Spaghetti. She loves good alliteration and so do I, so this recipe won a big tick right off the bat. If you don’t have the book, you can find the recipe online here.
This tasty dish is brimming with punchy flavour - anchovies, olives and tomatoes are up front and centre. The black bean spaghetti added a comforting earthy flavour to the dish.
While this spaghetti might not be the prettiest to look at, it has a depth of flavour that is hard to beat. It is also super quick and easy to make. Go on, treat yourself and make Nigella’s Slut’s Spaghetti!

I have cookbooks that I love that get lost in the stacks here too! It's like finding treasure when I finally open them again! Black bean spaghetti sounds really interesting and the sauce you mention sounds delish... I love anchovies. I'll have to look that one up! Thank you for sharing, have a wonderful week!!
