I love serving meatless meals for my family. Not only is it more healthy but it is very budget friendly. I am super blessed that my family loves chickpeas. We have a favorite chickpea dish, Oh So Tasty Bean Salad, that during the summer months, my family requests at least once a week. It is just that good!
I found this recipe and immediately knew that this would be something my family would like. I changed it up a bit to suit my family. It is a very hearty pasta dish made even better with crumbled feta on top. Super easy and ready to serve in about 30 minutes which makes it a great weeknight super dish when you have very limited time.
Enjoy!
