DIRECTIONS

Boil a large pot of water; cook pasta until al dente.
While pasta is cooking, heat oil in a saucepan.
Add onion, garlic, mushrooms, and zucchini and sauté until zucchini is tender but not mushy.
Stir in remaining ingredients and cook over medium heat, covered, for about 8 minutes.
When pasta is done, drain well.
Spoon vegetables over pasta and garnish with scallion curls.
Variations: add 1-2 teaspoons finely minced ginger root and sauté with vegetables. The chickpeas and pasta complement each other to form a complete protein.
