Spicy chickpea pasta tossed with Olives is delicious and 100% easier to make. This combo of pasta is delicious—an impressive recipe for the family.
Pasta for dinner always makes me feel guilty as it is loaded with carbs. Carbs are suitable for children if they are accompanied by other essential nutrients.
Chickpeas are one such ingredient that provides nutrients necessary for building muscles. However, children ignore them when they are served chickpeas alone.
But they highly appreciate and welcome these types of fusion foods.
The preparation process is straightforward, like counting single-digit numbers. Olives and chickpeas are forever the best combos. The creaminess of the chickpeas and the sharp taste of the olives make this Spicy chickpea pasta wonderful.
