Wonderful! Like chicken noodle soup, without the broth. I would use 1/2 the red pepper flakes next time, my little one found it too spicy. And I might add mushrooms. Wonderful though!

I made this the other night with salmon patties and it was super good. I really didn’t think that my kiddos were gonna go for it because… well, chickpeas… lol One ate around them and still devoured the pasta and the other ate all of it That is what I call a success. Additionally, I LOVED it. The only change I made was using cayenne because I didn’t have red pepper flakes
I HIGHLY recommend this!!

THIS was really good! I used 1/2 the red pepper flakes, since my kids don’t like spicy. It still gave nice flavor, minus the kick. Instead of the parsley, I chopped fresh spinach and put it in the water half way through the pasta cooking. The kids loved it, hubby loved it, and I loved it! Two thumbs up! Well, 8 thumbs up if you count all of us. Thanks!

this is so great. i’ve been gathering recipes to make a switch to a vegetarian diet and one thing i was stuck on was what to do with pasta. sweets loves pasta but on it’s own, it’s not that nutritious (no meat sauce = no protein) but this is great. we still get pasta and the chickpeas add protein. thank so much for sharing the recipe.

Thanks for sharing, however we didn’t enjoy this. It was a bit too plain for our tastes.

Oh wow! This is amazing! I can’t wait for my husband to get home so we can eat this, though I’m finding it very hard not to sneak a few bites straight from the pan. Thanks! What a wonderful 1 pan dish!
