1 can (15 ounces) garbonzo beans or chickpeas, rinsed and drained

Add salt to water in a medium sized pan. Cook spiral pasta. Drain and rinse in cold water. Place in a large bowl; add broccoli, pepperoni, shredded carrots, bell peppers, beans, onions and garlic. Stir together and then add italian dressing. Stir until well coated. Serve immediately or refrigerate. Yields: 10-12 servings
