Ingredients

Servings
  • 1/2 yellow onion medium
  • 1 zucchini small to medium
  • 5 to 6 sweet pepper small
  • 1 cup grape tomato or cherry tomato
  • 4 ounces pasta
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup chickpeas drained and rinsed if using canned, cooked
  • 1/4 cup basil julienned, lightly packed
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese lightly packed
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground

Instructions

  1. Prepare the vegetables: dice the onion and zucchini into similar sized pieces and slice the smaller peppers into rings. Slice the tomatoes in half. Start the pasta cooking and cook until al dente.
  2. Heat a large, high-sided skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil, followed by the vegetables. Saute until the vegetables are tender and browning, stirring occasionally; 8 to 10 minutes. Add in the chickpeas and basil, cooking and stirring until the chickpeas are warm.
  3. Add in the pasta as well as the heavy cream, parmesan, salt and pepper. Stir to coat the noodles and melt the parmesan. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.

Notes

  • Tips & Tricks: You could use smaller pasta, like the penne I used, or you could make this dish with a longer noodle, like spaghetti. 
  • Stock up: get the pantry ingredients you will need: zucchini, tomatoes, peppers
