Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 3 tablespoons cooking oil; 1 onion, sliced thin; 2 cloves garlic, chopped; 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano; 3/4 teaspoon chili powder; 1/2 pound cured chorizo or other spicy hard sausage such as pepperoni, casings removed and sausage cut into thin slices; 1 tablespoon tomato paste; 1 cup canned low-sodium chicken broth or homemade stock; 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed; 1 tablespoon lime juice; 1 teaspoon salt; 1/2 pound cavatappi; 1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley

Servings: persons

3 tablespoons cooking oil
1 onion, sliced thin
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
3/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 pound cured chorizo or other spicy hard sausage such as pepperoni, casings removed and sausage cut into thin slices
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 cup canned low-sodium chicken broth or homemade stock
1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 pound cavatappi
1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley

1
In a large frying pan, heat the oil over moderately low heat. Add the onion and saute until it begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic, oregano, and chili powder and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.
2
Add the chorizo, tomato paste, and broth to the pan and stir. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 3 minutes. Add the black beans, the lime juice, and the salt and remove the pan from the heat.
3
In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the cavatappi until just done, about 13 minutes. Drain; toss with the sauce and parsley.

Test-Kitchen Tips: For firm canned black beans rather than the usual mushy, overprocessed specimens, we prefer the Goya brand.: If you use tomato paste in small quantities, consider buying a tube of one of the imported Italian brands. The tube lasts a long time in the refrigerator, just like anchovy paste, so you won't have to open a whole can for one or two tablespoons.
5
Wine Recommendation: A sparkling wine or crisp sauvignon blanc from California--or even a Mexican beer--is a good foil for this spicy dish.
