The one downside from making the effort to eat locally grown, whole foods as much as possible is having to wait until Saturdays to visit the farmer's market. Since I didn't go to the market last weekend, I'm pretty much clean out of any fresh produce. Even though I could have stopped in at the grocery store after work, I knew that I would rather wait until the weekend when I can go to the farmer's market and get the freshest produce I can find. So I came home and made do with what I had on hand, and ended up making this awesome meal that really hit the spot.

Nevertheless, I had a few key ingredients on hand that could work, including one last bell pepper, one lonely egg, and the last 2 cloves of garlic. I knew they'd go good with some olive oil, organic whole wheat flour and fresh herbs to make a simple, satisfying meal. I had intended to use the chickpeas for some homemade hummus, but this is a great alternative!
This meal took 40 minutes to make because I made the pasta fresh right then and there. However, with pre-made pasta this meal would be easy enough to put together in under 15 minutes.
