Spinach Chickpeas Garlic Pasta

I love to try different pesto based pastas.. This helps to sneak in vegetables and easily convert junk kids food into healthy option. Since my kids have only one meal at home during weekdays I try to make a balanced meal for dinner. Everyday feeding them with healthy options is not going to fly so I need to find a way to include vegetables / Legume into their favourite dish. This is perfectly fit into my requirement.
