Pasta de Los Angeles Recipe from Appetite for Reduction- Or The Best Pasta Recipe in Existence

So today in my test kitchen I tried the "Pasta de los Angeles" recipe from Appetite for Reduction cookbook and I've got to say this has got to be my all-time favorite pasta recipe HANDS DOWN. I mean this stuff is DELICIOUS. The best. I could probably live off this crap. The recipe? Oh. Here it is:

Pasta de Los Angeles

8 ounces whole-wheat angel hair pasta
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 cup thinly sliced shallot
3 cloves garlic
1 jalapeno, thinly sliced
1 cup chopped fresh cilantro, plus extra for garnish
4 plum tomatoes, chopped (about 3 cups)
½ teaspoon salt
Zest and juice from 1 lime
1 (16 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed (about 1 ½ cups)
1 bunch spinach, coarse stems removed (about 1 pound), washed well

1. Bring a covered to of salted water to boil for the pasta. Then prepare the sauce.
2. Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the shallots, garlic and jalapeno in the oil for about 5 minutes. Stir in the cilantro and let cook for about a minute. Add the tomatoes, salt and lime zest (reserve the juice). Cover the pan and cook for 10 more minutes, stirring occasionally. The tomatoes should be nicely broke down and saucy, but some whole pieces remaining are just fine. Add the black beans.
3. By this time the water should be ready. Add the pasta and cook according to the package directions.
4. While the pasta is cooking, add the spinach to the skillet, tossing to wilt. Once everything is added, cover and cook until the spinach is cooked down, about 3 more minutes. Squeeze in the lime juice. Turn off the heat. 
5. When the pasta is ready, drain and add to the sauce. Use a pasta spoon to toss it, making sure that the pasta is well coated. Serve immediately, garnish with extra cilantro if you like.

So here's my subs: I couldn't find shallots so I used purple onions, I couldn't find whole wheat angel hair pasta so I used whole wheat plain ole' spaghetti pasta, and I used canned plum tomatoes. I also used baby spinach. I must say I think this is one of my favorite dishes sp far and can see it being a new staple. I would consider this recipe to be restaurant worthy. I can't say enough good things about it. Make this stuff. You'll love it.
