Pasta with Chickpeas

I vary my diet. A gluten free diet is a medical need. I choose to make my diet healthy and limit processed foods, sugar, and salt. I do enjoy going meatless and eating vegetarian and vegan dishes. I always use dry bean that I re-hydrate ... if you buy canned beans try to purchase low sodium beans and, no matter what, rinse them before using them.



Ingredients:
I cup chickpeas
I green bell pepper
1/2 cup diced onion (I used sweet vidalia)
1/4 cup diced garlic
1 tsp mustard seed
2 tsp nutritional yeast
1 cup DRY Banza (chickpea) Pasta
Oil for the pan so the food sautees and does not stick

Directions:
Diced the onion and garlic and sautee in a pan using the oil of your choice (I used Olive Oil)
Use a mandolin to thinly slice the bell pepper
Add pepper, chickpeas, mustard seed, and nutritional yeast to the sautee pan
Boil the water then add the cup of pasta ... cook till al dente (about 3 minutes)
Add the pasta and about 1/3 cup of the water to the sautee pan
Cook until liquid evaporates.
