Pasta Skillet with Beans and Tomatoes

from Cooking Light (June 1998, but I found it on their website)

This was really easy to put together, and we liked the combination of flavors. It helps that I love chickpeas.

2 teaspoons olive oil
2 cups chopped tomato
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 cups hot cooked angel hair (about 6 ounces uncooked pasta)
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 (15 1/2-ounce) can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained
1/2 cup (2 ounces) grated Asiago cheese
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Basil sprigs (optional)

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add tomato and garlic, and sauté 2 minutes. Add pasta, basil, salt, pepper, and chickpeas; cook 2 minutes. Place mixture in a bowl; stir in cheese and vinegar, and garnish with basil, if desired.

Yield: 4 servings (1-1/2 cups)
