Instructions for Bow Ties with Black Bean Salsa And Cherry Tomatoes

Prepare the pasta according to the package directions. While the pasta is cooking, heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the scallions and cumin and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the lime juice. Add the beans, salt, and pepper and toss. (The salsa can be made and refrigerated up to one day in advance.) Just before draining the pasta, measure 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid and pour it into the salsa. Drain the pasta, return it to the pot, and add the salsa. Cook over medium heat until the sauce is boiling and thick enough to lightly coat the pasta. Remove from the heat and gently stir in the tomatoes and cilantro. Serves 4.
