PASTA WITH ESCAROLE AND CHICKPEAS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook 30 seconds, then stir in the escarole, chickpeas, 1/4 teaspoon salt and the red pepper flakes; cover and cook until the escarole wilts, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook as the label directs. After a few minutes, remove 1 1/2 cups of the pasta cooking water and add to the skillet with the escarole mixture; simmer, uncovered, until the liquid is reduced by half and the escarole is tender, about 5 minutes. When the pasta is done, reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain. Add the pasta to the skillet and cook, tossing to combine, 1 minute; add some of the reserved cooking water if the pasta seems dry. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and toss. Remove from the heat and stir in the cheese.

CHICKPEA PASTA STEW

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the crushed red pepper, garlic, onion, 1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of black pepper and cook until the garlic is softened and the onion is translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the chickpeas and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the chickpeas are coated and heated through, about 3 minutes. Use the back of a wooden spoon to mash about a quarter of the chickpeas; this will help thicken the stew and give it body.
• Stir in the marinara sauce, pasta, lemon zest, Parmesan rind and 4 cups water. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally to make sure the pasta isn't sticking to the bottom of the pot, until the pasta is very al dente, about 10 minutes. Stir in the greens and continue to cook until completely wilted, 3 to 4 minutes. Add more salt and black pepper to taste. Divide among bowls, top with the grated Parmesan and some crushed red pepper and drizzle with olive oil.

PASTA WITH CHICKPEAS AND BREADCRUMBS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs for al dente. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain the pasta and return to the pot.
• Meanwhile, mix the breadcrumbs, 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 teaspoon rosemary in a medium saucepan until coated. Cook over medium heat until the breadcrumbs are golden, 4 to 5 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Remove to a small bowl.
• Wipe out the saucepan, return to medium-high heat and add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the red onion, garlic and remaining 1 teaspoon rosemary. Cook, stirring, until beginning to brown, about 7 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, until deep red, about 1 minute. Stir in the chickpeas with their liquid and the chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly, 7 to 10 more minutes.
• Stir the chickpea sauce, parsley and cheese into the pasta off the heat; season with salt and pepper. Stir in the reserved cooking water as needed to loosen (the pasta will soak up the sauce as it sits). Divide among bowls; top with the breadcrumbs, more cheese, pepper and a drizzle of olive oil.

SPAGHETTI WITH PANCETTA AND CHICKPEAS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain the pasta.

• Add the olive oil, garlic and jalapeno to the skillet with the pancetta drippings and cook until the garlic softens, about 1 minute. Add the chickpeas and cook, lightly smashing them with the back of a spoon, until slightly golden, about 4 minutes. Stir in the parsley and season with salt and pepper.
• Add the pasta, pancetta and Parmesan to the skillet along with the reserved cooking water; toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Divide among bowls, drizzle with more olive oil and top with more Parmesan.

LEMONY PASTA WITH CHICKPEAS AND PARSLEY

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Add fusilli and cook until it is just shy of al dente. (It should be slightly underdone to your taste because you'll finish cooking it in the sauce.) Drain well.
• While the pasta is cooking, prepare the chickpea sauce: Place chickpeas in a large bowl and use a potato masher or a fork to lightly mash them; they should be about half-crushed.

PASTA WITH CHICKPEAS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a well-seasoned skillet or nonstick saucepan (I used a dutch oven, so I could puree the sauce right in the pan using my hand blender), and saute the onions, garlic and rosemary on low eat until the onions are soft - about 10 minutes.
• Add the tomatoes and half of the chickpeas and cook for another 10 minutes.
• Remove the rosemary springs and discard. If you have a hand blender, puree the mixture until smooth. Otherwise, use a blender. Be careful not to burn yourself.
• Return the sauce to the pan (if you'd removed it for blending), add the remaining chickpeas, and add salt and pepper to taste.
• Meanwhile, cook the pasta.
• The original recipe suggests tossing the pasta and sauce together for serving, but we served them separately.
• Pass the feta and chopped tomatoes (if desired) at the table.

CHICKPEAS AND PASTA

PASTA E CECI (PASTA WITH CHICKPEAS) RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add garlic and rosemary, season lightly with salt, and cook, stirring frequently, until garlic softens and turns golden, about 5 minutes. Add pepper flakes and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add tomato paste and cook until tomato paste is fragrant and turns dark brick red, about 1 minute.
• Stir in wine, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Bring to a simmer, and cook until wine has emulsified with olive oil and mixture is slightly reduced, about 2 minutes.
• If using cooked dry chickpeas: Stir in 1 cup (170g) chickpeas and 1 cup (240ml) chickpea cooking liquid. Using a potato masher or wooden spoon, mash chickpeas against the sides and bottom of the pot until completely broken down. Stir in the rest of the chickpeas and remaining 3 cups (710ml) cooking liquid (supplementing with stock or water as needed to reach 3 cups), and black pepper. Season with salt to taste. Proceed to Step 4. If using canned chickpeas: Remove Dutch oven from heat; remove and discard rosemary sprig. Add 1 cup (170g) chickpeas and 1 cup (240ml) stock, and using an immersion blender, blend mixture until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. (If you do not have a handheld immersion blender, transfer mixture to blender and blend until smooth, about 1 minute. Pour mixture back into Dutch oven.) Stir in remaining 2 cups (340ml) of chickpeas, 3 cups (710ml) stock, and black pepper. Season with salt to taste.
• Bring chickpea mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir in pasta and cook, stirring frequently, until pasta is just shy of al dente (1 to 2 minutes less than the package directs, as the pasta will continue to cook off-heat), and liquid is reduced to a consistency that falls between soupy and saucy. Adjust consistency as needed with additional water, stock, or chickpea cooking liquid, keeping in mind that liquid will tighten up as it cools due to starch from the chickpeas.
• Remove from heat, add cheese, and stir rapidly to incorporate. Season with salt to taste. Divide between individual serving bowls (for the dried chickpea version, look out for the garlic cloves and rosemary sprig; remove and discard them), and drizzle each serving with olive oil. Serve, passing extra grated cheese at the table.

PASTA WITH CHICKPEAS RECIPE

Steps:

• There is a bit of preparation to be done with your dry chickpeas. Leave them to soak overnight in a pot full of water, at least 12-14 hours.
• After 12-14 hours, get rid of the water, wash the chickpeas and put them in a pot, covering with fresh water. Bring them to boil and let them simmer for about 45-60 minutes.
• Add salt to the chickpeas towards the end of the cooking time. Now, you have your chickpeas re-hydrated and ready to be cooked.
• In a large pan, pour some oil, add the garlic and rosemary. Let all gently cook at low heat.
• In the meanwhile, take some chickpeas from the pot and mash them to create a cream.
• When the garlic is golden, add the whole chickpeas in the pan. Add the anchovies too.
• Crush some peeled tomatoes in the pan, add some of the chickpeas cooking water and let all simmer for a few minutes.
• Now it's time to add the pasta. let everything cook for 4-5 minutes.
• Add some of the chickpeas cream that we created. You choose how thick you want your dish, so add more cream if you like the consistency to be thicker.
• When the pasta is ready, you are happy with the consistency of the dish and you have adjusted the salt, you are ready to plate your Pasta with Chickpeas.
• You can add some finely chopped rosemary and chili on top, plus a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese if you like.
• ENJOY!

CHICKPEAS AND HANDMADE PASTA

Steps:

• Put the chickpeas in a bowl, cover with cool water and soak overnight. The next day, drain the water, place the chickpeas in a deep saucepan and cover with 1 inch of fresh water. Add 1 of the garlic cloves, the onion, bay leaves and celery and bring to a boil over medium heat. Cover the pan and simmer for 1 to 2 hours, or until the chickpeas are very tender -- the time depends on the age and size of the peas. Add boiling water from time to time so that an inch of water remains over them as they cook. The liquid will become thicker and soupier.
• Meanwhile, to make the pasta, dissolve the teaspoon of salt in about cup of very warm water. Put the semolina in a mixing bowl and add the salted water a little at a time, gradually mixing until most of the water has been incorporated. You may need a little more water, or semolina, depending on humidity.
• Knead the pasta in the bowl for a few minutes. As you knead, you will feel the semolina granules begin to soften and relax. Once the dough is well amalgamated, turn it out on a board. If the dough feels stiff, brush a little water on the board with your fingers; if the dough feels loose and wet, scatter a tablespoon more of semolina on the boards and continue kneading until the texture is soft and silky. Then set the dough aside for 30 minutes.
• Using half the pasta at a time, roll it out on a very lightly floured board into the thinest possible sheet. Cut the sheet into long noodles about 1/2-inch wide and drape the noodles over the back of a chair to dry for 20 minutes.
• In a pot about 10 inches in diameter, add the oil to a depth of 1 inch. Add the remaining garlic and the chili pepper, broken in two. Cook at medium heat until the garlic starts to brown. Discard the garlic and add a few pasta strips at a time, about of it, frying until the noodles are crisp and brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
• When the chickpeas are very soft, remove the bay leaf and raise the heat to medium-high, adding more boiling water if necessary to keep them covered to a depth of 1 inch. Gently stir the remaining, un-fried pasta into the chickpeas and let cook for 5 minutes. When the pasta is al dente, garnish 4 bowls with a handful of fried pasta and serve immediately.
