Ingredients
Kosher salt
12 ounces penne pasta (preferably spinach-flavored)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1/2-inch strips
One 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 cup grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1/3 cup pitted kalamata olives, rinsed and chopped
3 cups tightly packed baby arugula or spinach (about 3 ounces)
Freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup Food Network Kitchen™ Inspirations Greek Feta Herb Vinaigrette
Directions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs. Reserve 1/4 cup of the cooking water, then drain.
- Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, about 3 minutes. Add the chickpeas, tomatoes, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is lightly browned and the tomatoes are just warmed through, about 3 minutes.
- Add the olives, pasta and the reserved pasta cooking water to the pot and cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the arugula until wilted. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving dish and drizzle with the Greek Feta Herb Vinaigrette.
