Cheesy Chickpea and Farro

This pantry filled meal is my recent obsession! With most ingredients coming from pantry items, you can throw together this weeknight dinner in no time. Plus, it’s so easy but looks so fancy, you can fool anyone to thinking you worked hours to prepare this!!

This recipe makes a bunch so great if you’re serving the family or prepare it and have it for a couple meals during the week. I don’t think you’ll get sick of this one!

If you don’t have farro in the pantry, switch this out for brown rice! It will be just as tasty and easy to prepare!

Ps. pair it with some red wine for a fancy date night or dinner with your friends.
