22 Apr Lemon Chickpea Pasta with Arugula and Parmesan
Delicious recipes don’t get much simpler than this. I love picking up some spring greens from the Farmer’s Market or from my garden and cooking them that night.
In this recipe, fresh arugula mixes with a quickly prepared olive oil, lemon, and garlic sauce. Chickpea pasta adds some fiber and plant-based protein. The result is a pasta dish that hits all the flavor high notes – umami, tangy, salty, and just a bit of bitterness to keep you interested.
