Red bell pepper
Cumin
Oregano
Olive oil
Salt/pepper
Black beans / taosi
Longganisa (Calumpit, Bulacan)
Rigatoni pasta
Powdered/mashed oregano
Fresh oregano leaves (optional)

Procedure
Pour 2 cups of water onto a pot and boil the longganisa until dark brown. No need to add garlic or spices, for it already has a strong flavor. Remove the skin and strings then mash into chunks once done.
On a separate pan, sauté the onions and bell pepper. Add on the longganisa and the oregano and cook for 5 minutes.
Pour in a cup of red wine (Pinot Noir) to counteract with the garlic flavour. Add in black beans and cook for another 3 minutes the fresh oregano leaves (optional)
Cook pasta accordingly until al dente. Drain pasta as soon as its done. Pour in the sauce with the pasta and mix.
