This is actually one of my favourite summer pastas to make. It's quick and easy.  Even better, it's full of flavour without being too heavy. 

I love the flavour of the roasted broccoli - it has a different kind of sweetness to it that you don't get from steaming it. And the roasted chickpeas adds a bit more texture to this pasta dish.  Nobody wants mushy chickpeas in their pasta. 

This is the type of summer pasta you can make this in big batches for any sort of summer get-togethers. 

I personally like smaller pasta shapes for this recipe, but honestly, you can use whatever you have.
