Chickpea Bucatini with Broccolini and Butternut
It just doesn’t get any better than my Chickpea Bucatini with Broccolini and Butternut entrée with organic chickpeas for protein; organic butternut squash for fiber and beta carotene; healthy organic broccolini for vitamins, minerals and cellular protection; organic pasta for needed carbohydrates! This is a delicious, vegetarian dish just full of flavor, nutrition and spicy aromatic goodness! My Chickpea Bucatini with Broccolini and Butternut is my kind of comfort food that warms you to the bone on cold winter nights!
Enjoy, stay warm and feel good about what you eat!
