Instructions
| Step | Instructions |
|---|---|
| 1 | Cook Pasta: Cook the rotini pasta according to package directions. Once cooked, drain and place it in a large bowl. |
| 2 | Prepare Sauce: In a large saucepan, whisk together the chicken broth and all-purpose flour until well blended. |
| 3 | Bring to Boil: Bring the broth mixture to a boil, whisking constantly. This will help the sauce thicken. |
| 4 | Add Zucchini: Once boiling, add the sliced zucchinis to the saucepan. |
| 5 | Simmer: Reduce the heat to medium, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for about 3 minutes. This will allow the zucchinis to become tender-crisp and the broth to thicken slightly. |
| 6 | Add Chickpeas and Olives: Stir in the drained and rinsed chickpeas along with the sliced black olives. |
| 7 | Combine Pasta and Sauce: Pour the sauce mixture over the cooked pasta in the large bowl. Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated with the Mediterranean flavors. |
| 8 | Serve: Serve your Mediterranean Pasta hot, garnished with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley or grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy! ๐ |
