- The time it takes to cook pasta will vary depending on the brand. Cook pasta until tender, but not al dente.
- I use both light and dark red kidney beans. Alternately you can use any bean that you have, such as black beans or white beans.
- To keep the sodium down. Choose cans that are labeled with “reduced sodium” (or “no added salt”) to keep sodium levels down. Use low sodium vegetable broth, and season it with salt at the end.
- You can portion this meal into individual or large-containers, and freeze it for up to 3months. These are the containers that I use. Before you can enjoy it, let it thaw in your fridge for at least 24 hours.
