What You’ll Need:
2 c brown rice, quinoa or chickpea pasta
2 broccoli crowns, chopped
1 can chickpeas, drained & rinsed
1/3-ish cup (about half 7 ounce jar) prepared pesto*
1 (6-8oz) jar roasted red peppers chopped
3-4oz crumbled feta cheese
Bring a medium pot of lightly salted water to a boil for the pasta & cook according to package instructions. (You will heat more water than you need for the pasta — trust us here, you’ll need it later!)
Put broccoli florets in a large colander and set in the sink.
SLOWLY drain cooked pasta directly over prepared veggies to flash steam. Let sit for 2-3 minutes.
Return broccoli & pasta to pasta pot. Toss with pesto, peppers & chickpeas.
Top with feta, share with a friend.
Serves 2.
