Scale
8 ounces gluten-free pasta
5 cups de-stemmed and chopped kale
1 (15 ounces) can chickpeas
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/4 cup grated parmesan
3 tablespoons grated parmesan
1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
Cook the gluten-free pasta in salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and cool.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Rinse and dry chickpeas; toss with olive oil and spices. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for about 30 minutes until golden brown.
Chop kale into small pieces, rinse, and massage gently to soften.
Combine mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, grated parmesan cheese, lemon juice, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper in a bowl to make the dressing.
In a large bowl, mix cooled pasta, roasted chickpeas, massaged kale, additional parmesan if desired, and the dressing until well coated.
