Pesto pasta with zucchini and chickpeas


Ooooh this was yummy. And it was a clean out the refridgerator special. While the pasta was cooking, I sauteed zucchini with lots of garlic, then added chickpeas and deseeded tomatoes. Usually I don't fuss about taking out the seeds in the tomatoes, but this time I wanted a fairly thick rich saute. Then I added salt, pepper, and extra virgin olive oil to finish. The pasta was drained and tossed with pesto, and served alongside the saute with grated grana padano cheese.
