What should I make with this meal?

Question

I want to make a meal that involves whole wheat pasta and chickpeas. Any ideas for a sauce or anything?

Oh, but meatless, please.

Answer 1

you could curry the chickpeas, serve with a yogurt/cucumber sauce.

Answer 2

pasta salad with garbanzo beans, tomatoes and feta cheese

3/4 pound fusilli or other corkscrew pasta (whole wheat or any pasta will work here too)
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh mint
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons white wine
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
6 tablespoons olive oil
2 cups chopped plum tomatoes
1 15- to 16-ounce can garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained
4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
Additional chopped fresh mint

Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite. Drain and rinse with cold water to cool. Drain again.

Combine 1/4 cup mint, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic and lemon peel in large bowl. Gradually whisk in oil. Add pasta, tomatoes, garbanzo beans and feta cheese. Toss to blend well. Season salad to taste with salt and pepper. (Can be prepared ahead. Let stand at room temperature 2 hours; or cover and refrigerate overnight, them let stand at room temperature 1 hour before serving.)

Mound salad on large shallow platter. Garnish with additional mint. Serves 6 to 8.

Answer 3

I suppose you could make falafel and use is as a meatball replacement, and add some tomato sauce. Alternatively, you could make hummus and incorporate it into a sauce. You could also use chickpea flour, coat vegetables with it and fry them.

Answer 4

I would do it as a pasta salad with parmesan,fresh bell peppers,red onion,lightly steamed broccoli and a nice vinaigrette.
