Chickpea Pasta Meal

This is a meal I started making when I first got married.  I wanted to make a pasta meal but didn’t have sauce or mozzarella.  So I experimented with cottage cheese, yes…cottage cheese and everyone loved it.  Not only is it quick and easy but it’s healthy too, my kind of meal.  I am sharing my recipe with you below and hope you enjoy it too:)
