High-Protein Italian Sub Inspired Pasta Salad

Cook Banza chickpea rotini according to package instructions. Drain it, rinse with cold water, and add a little olive oil to prevent sticking and add flavor. Pasta Tips: 1. Do not forget to salt the water and cook for 6-8 minutes maximum; do not overcook. 2. Stir often to avoid the pasta from clumping or sticking together. Some foam may appear, which is normal. To a medium bowl, add the drained/rinsed pasta and then add pesto; toss to combine the pesto well. Next, add the cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, sun-dried tomatoes, capers, bocconcini, salami, basil, and sumac. Feel free to top with a little grated Parmesan and a pinch of Tabasco to kick it up a notch.
