Chicken,Pasta and Chickpea Stew

I added fresh parsley, oregano, extra garlic and salt/pepper.
Excuse the bowl. It looks a little messy....

Ingredients

Cooking spray
cup thinly sliced celery
3/4 cup diced carrot
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
3 cups Basic Marinara
1 cup canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans), rinsed and drained
3/4 cup uncooked ditalini (very short tube-shaped macaroni)
teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

6 tablespoons shaved fresh Parmesan cheese

Preparation
