I love chickpeas, but I don't think they belong in this dish. I would either replace them with maybe white beans or add a little more pasta and leave the beans out. I don't know what kind of meat salami is, so I used some chicken sausage and it was yummy. Next time, I will double the amount of sausage. Next time I will also chop the onions very, very finely and add a little more salt and pepper.
