Ingredients

Pesto Pasta

  • 8 oz Pasta
  • 1/3 Cup Pesto

Spicy Chickpeas

  • 1 15 oz Can Chickpeas

The Rest of the Bowl

  • Kale or Spinach

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
  • Rinse and drain your can of chickpeas, then dry them until they're completely dry. Discard any loose skins.
  • Toss the chickpeas with the oil and spices, then bake them in the oven for about 25-30 minutes. When done, remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
  • While the chickpeas are cooking, boil 8 oz of your favorite pasta in salted water until al dente. When done, drain the water, and mix in about 1/3 cup of pesto (but feel free to add more or less as you like).
  • Set up your bowls - add on a layer of spinach or kale, then top with the pesto pasta and chickpeas. Add on some sprouts and pumpkin seeds, if you'd like.
  • Enjoy!
