veggies n black bean sauce

1 lb. broccoli crowns chopped into 1-inch sections (or use your veggies of choice)
1 lb. radiatori, cooked according to package directions - save ~1 cup pasta water
2 Tablespoons olive (or sesame) oil
1 cup onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic
1 (15 oz.) can diced tomatoes, including juice
1 (15 oz.) can black beans, rinsed
1 Tablespoons fresh ginger 
1/3 cup soy sauce
1 Tablespoon rice vinegar
(Pasta water, as necessary)

1. Steam broccoli until cooked but slightly crunchy. Set aside. 
2. Cook pasta according to package directions, saving ~1 cup of the boiling water. 
3. Sauté onions and garlic in oil, until golden, about 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and juice. Simmer for 3 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, place all remaining ingredients (beans through vinegar) in the food processor or blender. Blend until smooth, then add to tomato mixture and mix through.  
5. Serve pasta with steamed veggies and sauce over the top. Maybe some Sriracha sauce?
Enjoy!
