I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out terrible. I don't recommend this recipe.

This recipe is a little bland for my taste. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

I didn't have any couscous, so I used quinoa. It worked out great.

I'm allergic to chickpeas, so I used lentils instead. It was just as good!

I'm on a diet, so I used low-fat pesto and reduced the amount of olive oil. It was still very tasty.

This dish is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the chickpeas and the pesto.

I'm not a fan of pesto, so I used a different sauce. It was still delicious!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chickpeas. I always have a can or two in my pantry, so it's nice to have a recipe that's quick and easy to make.

I'm not a huge fan of couscous, but this dish changed my mind. The pesto adds so much flavor and the chickpeas give it a nice protein boost.
