Ingredients

    1 - 12 ounce bag of veggie spirals wacky mac or rainbow pasta
    Whatever fresh veggies you have on hand, I used asparagus, snap peas and zucchini in the calorie count
    1 15.5 ounce can of garbanzo beans

    For the pesto:
    1 cup packed fresh basil
    1/2 cup walnuts
    4 cloves garlic
    3 Tbsp olive oil

Directions

Cook the pasta - not too mushy! Steam the veggies. When those are all done, drain the pasta and mix in the veggies and the rinsed garbanzo beans.

In a food processor mix the basil, garlic and walnuts until pulverized. Add the olive oil.

Mix the pesto into the pasta-veggie mix and refrigerate for several hours before serving. It can be eaten hot too if you want it right away. Enjoy!

Makes 16 approximately 1/2 cup servings.
