Greek Roasted Vegetable and Chickpea Pasta
Greek Roasted Vegetable and Chickpea Pasta is made with roasted chickpeas, feta cheese, loads of roasted veggies and an easy lemon vinaigrette for a delicious meal!
When it comes to lunches, I need something that is quick, tasty, nutritious and filling. This Greek Roasted Vegetable and Chickpea Pasta is perfect! I make a big batch of this and eat it through the week. The kids love it and so do I.
I used chickpea pasta for this recipe because I had it on hand. It is a great source of protein and fiber and is naturally gluten-free. Feel free to use whole-wheat pasta if you prefer. I roasted the chickpeas right with the veggies for extra flavor and think that they were super tasty. They are partially crispy in the recipe. You can cook them for longer if you want them super crispy.
Feel free to use whatever veggies you want for this recipe. I used these because I had them on hand and they kind of went with the Greek theme that I was going for. This super simple lemon vinaigrette is perfect for a light and flavorful ingredient. I used fresh basil but parsley would would as well.
