Spaghetti With Chickpea Red Sauce Food

BEST CHICKPEA SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Drain the chickpeas, reserving the liquid it came in separately.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and boil the spaghetti for 2-3 minutes less than what the package directions say.
• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil and garlic. Saute until the garlic is fragrant and cooked through.
• Add the chili flakes and swirl it around with the garlic and olive oil for a few seconds.
• Add the tomatoes and saute until they start losing their shape, and they are no longer watery.
• Add the chickpeas, tomato puree, and salt.
• When the pasta is 2-3 minutes shy of being done, drain it and add it to the chickpea sauce. Finish cooking the pasta in the sauce until it is done to your liking. If the sauce starts gets too thick, add some of the chickpea liquid in to thin it out.
• Finish the pasta by tossing in the plant-based parmesan cheese.

CHICKPEA SAUCE AND SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• 1. In a blender or food processor, puree 1 can of chickpeas with its liquid.
• 2. In a large saucepan, heat the oil and sauté the garlic and onions until the garlic begins to brown.
• 3. Add the tomatoes and their liquid, rosemary, chickpea puree, and the remaining can of chickpeas with its liquid to the saucepan. Stirring it often, heat the mixture for about 15 minutes or until it has thickened. Add the parsley and pepper.
• 4. Toss the hot cooked spaghetti with the sauce, and sprinkle with Parmesan before serving.

RED SAUCE AND SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• In a food processor, puree the tomatoes to a smooth creamy consistency.
• Add olive oil to a large pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the onions and saute until they are soft, and before it actually starts browning a bit, add the garlic. If you'd like to make the sauce spicier, add a pinch red pepper, optional.
• Add the tomatoes and season with salt and pepper.
• Simmer on a medium-low flame for about a half hour. Thrive for balance in the consistency of the sauce, it has to be fluid but it should not look overly wet. A few minutes before taking the sauce off the fire, add half the basil and season with salt and pepper.
• To serve: Cook a nice al dente pasta, dress with red sauce and finish with some freshly grated Parmesan, a couple of leaves of basil and sprinkle with extra-virgin olive oil.

Add tomatoes and broth, and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, and cook until sauce has reduced slightly, 20 minutes. Add basil, and cook 5 minutes more. Remove basil.
• While sauce is cooking, cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente; drain pasta, and return to pot.
