For an extra layer of flavor, try toasting the chickpeas in the oven with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of your favorite herbs before adding them to the salad. This salad is even better the next day, as the flavors have time to meld together. Feel free to experiment with different types of pasta, such as fusilli or farfalle.
