Pasta for dinner always makes me feel guilty as it is loaded with carbs. Carbs are suitable for children if other essential nutrients accompany them.

Chickpeas are one such ingredient that provides nutrients that are necessary for building muscles. Children ignore it when they are served with chickpeas alone.

But they highly appreciate and welcome these types of fusion foods.

The preparation process is straightforward, like counting the single-digit numbers. Olives and chickpeas are the best combos for ever. The chickpeas' creaminess and the olives' sharp taste make this Spicy chickpea pasta wonderful.
