I would just add, if you're hosting diabetics, leave out the chickpeas and double the canned fish. (Before my diabetes diagnosis, I used to make a pasta with chickpeas and green peas that my husband and I both loved, but that's way too much carbohydrate in one sitting now.)

I love this tip, thank you Elizabeth! Whole wheat pasta would also be a great move

Indeed it would!

I love this idea! As it turns out, I didn’t have anyone over yesterday, but I did take some comfort food (ham, cheesy potatoes and green beans with almonds) over to a friend’s house. He was on his own as his wife is in the hospital and not expected home for another week. He told me he HATES cooking, so I got lots of thanks for doing this simple act. It truly made my day, and reminded me of the importance of community, especially now. Can’t wait to try the pasta!
