Chickpea Pasta with walnut Pesto and Sausage and Mozzarella!

Ingredients:

1 box Bonza Chickpea penne pasta

3 links of sausage (your choice) I used sweet italian

1/2 pint of grape tomatoes sliced in half

1/2 mozzarella ball sliced and cubed

Walnut pesto - I make it with walnuts because of the benefits from the walnuts but you can use pine nuts or almonds

Cook past according to the directions on the box. In a skillet cook the sausage on medium high heat for about 7 minutes. When it is cool enough slice it. In the same pan cook the grape tomatoes on medium heat stirring until they soften ( about 4 minutes). Add 1 cup of pesto to the tomatoes and if need be add extra olive oil to make the consistency a bit more saucy. Drain pasta and place in the skillet to toss in the sauce. Add sausage and mozzarella and serve.
