Recipe Making Pasta and Chickpeas
In winter, when it's raining outside and it's cold, nothing is better than a nice plate of pasta and chickpeas. So here's a terrific recipe for pasta and chickpeas to try this week.

The pasta and chickpeas is a traditional dish of Italian cuisine, simple, tasty and substantial. In fact, the chickpeas are among the most calorie vegetables. In addition to being rich in starch, vitamins and fatty acids ( linoleic acid), also contain saponins, substances that help eliminate triglycerides and cholesterol from the gut, and have a good percentage of cellulose.
