Brian and I have been cooking together for our date nights lately (okay jk, HE does most of the work and I just do the dishes LOL), so I wanted to share a quick and easy recipe! This is perfect for weekdays when you’re in a time pinch and just want to get the most protein in!

I present to you: Super Simple Chickpea Pasta with Seafood!

Ingredients:

• Onions (diced)
• Garlic (minced)
• Grape tomatoes
• Pre-cooked shrimp (I got them from Whole Food’s)
• Banza Chickpea pasta
• Scallops (Whole Food’s)
• Butter
• White wine (your choice)

Directions:

1. Finely dice some onions, tomatoes, and mince garlic. Put them in a pan with butter, olive oil, salt, and pepper to taste.
2. While waiting for the flavors to sink in, boil some chickpea pasta for about 20 minutes.
3. Add shrimp to the first pan. Pour in some white wine for more flavor (and some into your wine glasses while cooking LOL). Keep sauteeing (is that a word?) until tomatoes are soft and “squishy.”
4. Drain out the pasta and add cooked pasta to the pan. Mix everything up and let all the flavors soak.
5. In a different pan, sear scallops for about 5 mins each side.
6. Serve pasta and add seared scallops on top!
7. Enjoy!!!

Let me know if you make it and what you think of this dish! 🙂 It’s definitely one of my favorites and most certainly makes me look like a better chef than I truly am. 😛

Happy cooking!
