Cavatappi and Garbanzo beans with Spinach and Feta

Recipes »  Main Dish  »  Pasta

This simple Pasta Recipe is a favorite of my friends at college. Whenever i am at a loss for recipe ideas this is one that i can turn to and make quickly. The garbanzo beans add an interesting texture while the feta gives this vegetarian dish a great flavor!

"This was really good! I used black beans because I'm not a fan of garbanzos in a pasta dish. I also eyeball measurement (yes, it hurts me sometimes!) but I only put in maybe a tsp of garlic because 4 seemed like a lot. Glad I did because it was still very garlicky! " - mariaathar

    This was great. I added some olives and a can of diced tomatoes, which once heated with the feta made a great sauce. It was even better the day after!
