    This was a very colorful and tasty dish. I would make it again, but with these changes: drain and rinse the kidney beans, add a little crushed red pepper, and serve over linguini. Angel hair pasta is too delicate for this hearty sauce.

    This is very good, and very filling. I changed it a little bit; I left out the capers, added chopped garlic, and used black eye peas instead of the black beans. I also drained and rinsed both cans of beans. The spaghetti went over very well with my housemates–there were no left-overs left over! Excellent with garlic bread.

    The angel hair pasta definitely does not hold up to the fantastic sauce. I really suggest you use a heartier pasta–fettucini, linguini, (American-style) spaghetti, etc.

    Also added garlic. Will either reduce or eliminate the capers next time. Served over whole grain linguine. Really good.
