Yep, another chickpea pasta recipe! This time a taco pasta recipe. I bought a case of chickpea pasta recently so I apologize ahead of time for all the chickpea pasta recipes coming your way! You can tell we have kids in the house by some of these recipes (it looks a bit like hamburger helper) but truth be told I’m sure Bob and I will be eating like this long after the kids are off to college. There is nothing like eating comfort food, but also knowing it’s good for you. This is actually a nutritionally solid meal. I added some fire roasted tomatoes as well as grilled red pepper to make sure there were veggies in there. We also made a kale caesar salad to go along with it. Enjoy!
