Cook the spaghetti according to package instructions. When done, drain the spaghetti and set aside to cool down. Once cool, whisk the egg and pour it over the spaghetti. Fold the egg into the spaghetti well. The egg will help to hold the casserole together.

In a deep medium-sized casserole dish, spread 1/3 of the crushed tomatoes across the bottom of the dish. Add a layer of spaghetti (half the spaghetti).  Next, the sautéed veggies and black beans.
