  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 jar Barilla® Roasted Garlic sauce
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese

  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced crosswise

  • Pour Roasted Garlic sauce mixture into large pot; stir in zucchini and 1 tablespoon rosemary; stir in pasta.
  • Slowly add reserved cooking water until desired consistency is reached; serve immediately topped with roasted chickpeas and crumbled feta.
  • Customize it: To add an extra dose of veggies without any extra work, stir in baby kale or baby spinach just before serving.
