Servings 6 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 (340g) pkg macaroni - I used GF Catelli brand
  • 1 1/2 cup cooked chickpeas
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrot
  • 1/3 cup chopped green onion
  • 1 1/3 cup mayo - I used Hellmans
  • 1/3 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 tsp granulated onion
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp mustard powder
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Cook pasta to al dente, according to pasta. Drain and transfer to a colander/strainer and run under very cold water for 30 seconds to 1 minute. This will stop the cooking process. Set aside.
  • In a food processor, pulse chickpeas for a few seconds to create a chunky crumbled texture. (Or hand mash until chunky)
  • In a large bowl, add pasta, chickpeas and all other ingredients. Mix together and add salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

* If not serving immediately, prevent dish from losing it's creaminess by storing in an airtight container.
** Be sure your pasta is only cooked until al dente. Overcooking the pasta will lead to possibly mushy, broken noodles.
