"This spicy, curry-scented pasta dish is nice for parties or buffets as it can
be served at room temperature. While the chickpeas provide additional protein
and fiber, they can be omitted, if desired. The pimiento, though optional,
lends pretty flecks of color. For a milder flavor, use the lesser amount of
curry powder and halve the amount of chili powder."
