Stir Fry Bowtie Pasta with Chickpeas & Corn

Stir Fry Bowtie Pasta with Chickpeas and Corn – This delicious dish can be made plant based and gluten free by making easy substitutions.

Once upon a time…

Haddar Gluten Free Italian Dressing Mix – this one’s great if you’re a GFE (Gluten Free Eater) like me!

I love the Good Seasons Zesty Italian Spice Packet Mix (Contains Gluten)

The idea of Making my own Spice Packet Mix

Weighing the options

I start with a good quality bowtie pasta – it needs to be able to hold its shape when being stir fried after cooking.  I’ve also made this using Jovial Gluten Free bowtie pasta and it works well too.

Oh those cute little chickpeas

I then add chick peas.  Chick peas happen to be a stealthily healthy food.  Most people know of chick peas from hummus, falafel and from big bowls of them at Shalom Zachors, but you can use them for other recipes and they are chock full of good nutrition! 

I looked online and found on the http://health.learninginfo.org/chickpeas.htm web page a lot of stats to back that up.  Chick peas are a good source of folate, protein, fiber, calcium, magnesium, iron, and zinc!  Shocking!  Healthy, but sadly, kind of drab looking. 

Add some beautiful yellow Midwest Corn

This recipe needed some pretty color.  I added naturally bright yellow corn.  Corn is a starchy vegetable but is still nutritious. 

And now for the (not so) secret ingredient

The secret ingredient that ties it all together? The spice packet!  the entire recipe is cooked in a big wok or skillet until the bowties are browned, slightly crispy and pretty. 

This pasta is delicious topped shredded parmesan cheese, but I have topped this recipe with part skim shredded mozzarella or grated parmesan cheese as well.  If you want to keep the dish pareve or plant based, you can used a plant based parmesan.  It’s great that way too, and it’s how I eat it with the gluten free pasta version of the recipe. 

Here is the awesome gluten free bowtie (farfalle) pasta that I use. Make sure to undercook it slightly or it will fall apart during the stir fry process.

An added bonus is that is smells amazing when it’s cooking.   The leftovers are excellent for an easy lunch the next day if you can get to them before someone else shnookers them!

Description

Bowtie Pasta with Chickpeas and Corn is a huge family favorite. It’s incredibly flavorful and simple to make using ingredients you already stock in your pantry and freezer.

This recipe contains my secret ingredient – the Spice Packet! For a while I had trouble finding a gluten free variety but thanks to  Haddar Brand Gluten Free Italian Dressing packets I was able to bring back this savory and flavorful dish. I topped it with  plant based  parmesan but you can use  dairy cheese if you prefer.
