Chickpea Pasta with almonds and Parmesan

This was a really good, quick pasta dish. It was perfect for a weeknight. I thought we would have a lot of leftovers, but we really liked it and ate a lot more than expected!! Also, we have a ton of tomatoes to use, so I added chopped tomatoes to our final product.
