Penne with Veggies and Black Beans image

Chock-full of zucchini, tomatoes, sweet pepper and carrots, this hearty pasta dish puts your garden harvest to good use. For variety, I sometimes add one-half cup of salsa or one-half cup of thickened teriyaki sauce. -Vickie Spoerle, Indianapolis, Indiana

This pasta dish is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the colorful veggies and the black beans, and they didn't even notice the spinach! I'll definitely be making this again for my family.

This pasta dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken or turkey. I had some leftover roasted chicken, and it was perfect in this dish. The flavors all came together perfectly, and it was a great way to use up my leftovers.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The sweetness of the bell peppers and corn, the heartiness of the black beans, and the tanginess of the pesto all come together perfectly. I'll definitely be making this again.

I'm not a huge fan of pesto, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I'm so glad I did! The pesto was actually really good, and it paired perfectly with the veggies and black beans. I'll definitely be making this again.

I was disappointed with this dish. The veggies were mushy and the pasta was bland. I think I'll stick to my old pasta recipe next time.

I thought this dish was just okay. The flavors were a bit bland for my taste and the pasta was a bit overcooked. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I was pleasantly surprised by how easy this dish was to make. I had it on the table in under 30 minutes, which is a lifesaver on busy weeknights. The recipe is also very adaptable - I didn't have any bell peppers on hand, so I used zucchini instead a
