Ingredients:

Ingredients Quantity
Pasta 8 oz
Onion 1 large
Garlic Cloves 2
Mushrooms 1/4 cup
Zucchini 2
Tomatoes 1 1/2 cups
Chickpeas (Garbanzo Beans) 2 cups
Tomato Paste 1 tbsp
Curry Powder 1 tbsp
Water 2 cups
Black Pepper To taste
Scallion For garnish

Instructions:

  1. Boil Pasta: Start by bringing a large pot of water to a boil. Cook the pasta until it reaches the perfect al dente texture.

  2. Prepare Vegetables: While the pasta is cooking, heat some oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add in the chopped onion, minced garlic cloves, sliced mushrooms, and diced zucchini. Sautรฉ them until the zucchini is tender but still retains its firmness.

  3. Add Remaining Ingredients: Once the vegetables are cooked to your liking, stir in the diced tomatoes, drained chickpeas, tomato paste, curry powder, and water. Allow the flavors to meld together by cooking the mixture over medium heat, covered, for approximately 8 minutes.

  4. Drain Pasta: When the pasta is done cooking, drain it well to remove excess water.

  5. Combine and Serve: Spoon the flavorful vegetable and chickpea mixture over the drained pasta. Garnish your dish with freshly chopped scallions for a burst of color and flavor.

  6. Variations: For a subtle kick of spice, consider adding 1-2 teaspoons of finely minced ginger root to the vegetable sautรฉing process. This addition complements the chickpeas and pasta, elevating the dish to a whole new level of deliciousness.

  7. Homemade Curry Powder: If you’re feeling adventurous and want to take your curry game to the next level, why not try making your own curry powder? Check out my posted recipe for Curry Powder Mix #104344 for a fragrant blend that will tantalize your taste buds.
