2/3 cup cooked Chickpeas (100g)
1/2 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
In a large bowl, mix the cooked whole wheat pasta, cauliflower florets, and chickpeas. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss until evenly combined.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and evenly sprinkle the shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the cauliflower edges start to turn golden.
Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, and serve warm.
