Are chickpeas actually good with linguine?
Yes! Chickpeas themselves are plant-based power houses full off both protein and fiber, which makes linguine and chickpeas a nutritious meal. In other words you have the most important micro-nutrients in one bowl. Including chickpeas in your diet regularly will support your health by improving digestion, aiding weight management and reducing the risk of several diseases.
Additionally chickpeas are high in protein and make an excellent replacement for meat in vegetarian and vegan diets. Therefore it may help keep your appetite under control, as we know 1 g protein=4 calories and 1 g of carbohydrates= 4 calories, as a result it will lower your caloric intake throughout the day. Just 100 g of chickpeas provides you with 19 g of protein at 350 calories, 55 g of carbs and just 6 g of fat, for me this is a super plant, you have everything you need in one handful of beans.
Why chickpeas and linguine are a wining combo?
First of all pasta and chickpeas are cheap to start with and they are easy to include in your diet! At the same time you don’t have to be a Michelin star chef to cook them, funny thing you can buy them already cooked. While chickpeas are the main ingredient in hummus we don’t use them for this, we prefer butter bean for our humus recipe, if would you like to know why click here.
This linguine with chickpeas recipe is simple, hearty dish that makes a lovely week night meal. Nonetheless is perfect when you are craving for Italian comfort food, it does the trick.

If you don’t want to use one from the can isle you can make it yourself from fresh tomatoes, it’s not that difficult and we promise to make a recipe for that soon. Until then we recommend this one here.
Because we are olives addicts :)) this recipe has lots of them, if you don’t like your pasta with olives you can skip and add something else, like sun dried tomatoes or any antipasti will do.
