Number Of Ingredients 9

2 Tbsp olive oil

1 c hot water
16 sun-dried tomatoes
1 lb mushrooms, sliced (use a variety of baby bellas, shiitake, button, ect.)
1 can(s) black beans
salt, to taste
fresh ground pepper, to taste (or if you like, use cayenne for some heat)

This sauce is not worth the effort. It's not very flavorful and it's not very creamy.

I found this sauce to be a bit too oily. I had to drain some of the oil off before serving.

This sauce is a bit bland for my taste. I had to add some extra spices to give it some flavor.

I'm allergic to mushrooms, but I was still able to enjoy this sauce. I just omitted the mushrooms and it was still really flavorful.

This sauce is a great way to use up leftover mushrooms. I had some leftover from a stir-fry and they worked perfectly in this sauce.

I'm not a huge fan of mushrooms, but I really enjoyed this sauce. The black beans and tomatoes helped to balance out the mushroom flavor.

I made this sauce last night and it was delicious! I used whole wheat pasta and it was still really creamy and flavorful. I'll definitely be making this again.
