Roasted Tomato Pasta with Chickpeas Recipe

Mix together the garlic, Italian seasoning, red pepper, 1/4 cup of canola oil, and few pinches of salt and pepper; pour mixture evenly over tomatoes. Drizzle with another 1/4 cup of canola oil.

Once chickpeas are heated through and arugula is wilted, add to the crushed tomato bowl with pasta and lemon zest; toss to mix.
