- 1 box Chickapea Pasta Spirals
- 450 grams asparagus
- 2 peaches large, sliced
- 1 eggplant small, sliced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes

Instructions
- Cook pasta to al dente. Drain and rinse.

- Drizzle olive oil over veggies and peaches, and lightly season with salt and pepper.
- Grill peaches and veggies until lightly charred on the outside and heated through. This will only take 3-7 minutes.
- On a platter, layer pasta with grilled veggies and peaches, and garnish with extra parmesan, pistachios, pine nuts, chili flakes or chopped basil and lemons.
