Penne Pasta with Black Beans and Mango

We love mangos so we are willing to try anything that has it! Plus, we're always looking for good meals without meat. We decided this one was good enough to have again. :) It's not super amazing, but it's good, simple and different!

1 14-oz can chopped tomatoes
1 sm. onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
2 T olive oil
4 oz penne pasta, al dente
1 mango, peeled and cubed
1/2 c fresh basil leaves, sliced
salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste.

Simmer tomatoes, onion, and garlic in a medium saucepan over medium heat for about 10 minutes. Add beans and oil and cook one additional minute. Place cooked pasta in a serving bowl and spoon bean sauce over top. At table, let everyone top with mango, basil, salt, pepper, to taste.
