As a mom of 2, I’m always looking for different ways for my family to enjoy some of our favorite meals. Our household loves anything with pasta and veggies so I took one of our favorite pasta salads and instead of serving it with traditional pasta, I used the Barilla® Chickpea Rotini and everyone loved it!
I love that the Barilla Chickpea Pasta:
- Is made with one simple ingredient (chickpeas)
- Is a good source of plant-based protein and fiber
- Is certified gluten free, non-GMO project verified
- Is very versatile and can be used in many different recipes and dishes including pastas, salads & soups
This vegetarian pasta salad is so good. From the oven-roasted veggies, feta cheese, the yummy homemade marinade/dressing and the delicious taste of the Chickpea Rotini pasta, this dish is so full of flavor and nourishing. It’s so simple to make and is the perfect quick, easy and wholesome meal that’s guaranteed to satisfy even the pickiest eaters.
You can find Barilla® Legume Pasta products at your local Albertsons.
