Spicy Vegetables and Chickpeas with Pasta

Guys, I am having second thoughts! Do you think I really should have called my blog CarbsByMaria? I don’t know about you but I am certainly noticing a theme after the past few months.  I would lying if I said carbs aren’t my way of comforting myself during these cold months.

Speaking of comforting, that is exactly what this Spicy Vegetable and Chickpeas Pasta did and damn did it feel good. This healthy dish is filled with just the right amount of spice and vegetables to satisfy your palette while keeping your body warm and detoxified.

I would recommend this dish any night of the week (especially if you live in Canada or anywhere else that is currently freezing). It is just so warming and beautiful.  Really simple to make, easy to follow and even easier to eat!

A great dish for the whole family and perfect if you are trying to sneak in vegetables to every meal!

I have loads more pastas here on the blog but I would definitely recommend my other vegetables recipes like  Chickpea and Kale Tomato Sauce + The Protein (plant-based) Packed Vegetable Pasta.

This recipe is simple and truly starts with the beauty of vegetable recipes and their ability to completely transform a dish by simply adding beautiful spices and creamy coconut milk.

You are going to love this Spicy Vegetable and Chickpea Pasta because is it:
