Tammy's Review: 

This is a delicious quick summer meal! I think the tomato and bean mixture tastes wonderful, and the pasta just accents the flavors! This is very easy to make. It's also very economical, especially if you cook your own dried black beans to use in it. This recipe is a great main dish or side dish. When served cold (leftover), it's like a nice pasta salad! My rating: 10/10

Not impressed...

Something just didn't seem to "click" with this one. The flavor was good, it certainly was quick and easy!, but somehow the texture with pasta didn't seem right. My husband preferred it with corn chips!

Excellent!

This didn't look very good to me, but after a few bites I was hooked! It wasn't all that spicy, but it had just the right amount of seasoning to make a delicious light lunch.

This was pretty good

Of course, I can never just leave a rrecipe alone :). SKipped the jalapeno completely, didn't add nearly as much tomatoes. I did add a whole bunch of fresh chopped cilantro though. This made it more a Black Bean Salsa type recipe. So it was yummy over the pasta & very good as a chip dip or over nachos! YUM!
