Fettuccine Pasta with Black Bean Sauce

This is a recipe I got from Jami. I love it! It's like a vegetarian spaghetti (it came from a website that posts diabetic recipes, but I added salt :) It is still very healthy and very tasty. I hope you enjoy it.

1 tsp olive oil
1 medium onions , chopped
2 medium garlic cloves , minced
6 fresh mushrooms (med), sliced (button)
1 1/2 tbsp fresh basil, minced
1 tbsp fresh oregano, minced
1/8 tsp black pepper
14 1/2 oz canned diced tomatoes
4 oz fettuccine
8 oz tomato sauce
1 cup Beans, black, canned,rinsed

Directions
1 Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium high heat. Saute the onion and garlic for 2 minutes. Stir in the mushrooms and saute for 3 minutes. Reduce the heat and add the basil, oregano, pepper, and tomatoes. Simmer for 5 minutes.
2 Cook the pasta in accordance with the directions on the package. Do not add any salt or fat.
3 Add the tomato sauce and beans to the onion mixture and cook for an additional 4 minutes.
4 Divide the pasta onto 4 plates and top with the sauce.
