- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente; 8 to 10 minutes. Drain reserving some pasta water. Coat with 1 tablespoon olive oil; set aside.
- Meanwhile heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large non-stick frypan over medium high heat. Add zucchini then cook and stir until zucchini begins to brown around the edges but is still firm.
- Stir in asparagus, broccoli and green beans then continue to cook until vegetables turn bright green in colour; about 3 minutes. Add spring onions and chickpeas then cook and stir until vegetables are lightly browned around the edges.
- Add reserved pasta water to vegetables. Cover frypan then reduce heat to low and simmer until chickpeas are heated through and vegetables are just tender.
- Stir vegetables and basil into pasta then season to taste with salt and pepper. Top with crumbled feta.
