Easy Pasta with Zucchini

This pantry pasta has zucchini, chickpeas, and cannellini beans. But, it's all about making a quick, good meal with what you have on hand. Any small pasta can be used. I used pipette, but ditalini, small shells, tubetti, etc would all be good. Omit or add any veggie or beans you like. I hope you enjoy this pantry pasta recipe!
