Pasta With Chickpeas And Garlic Sauce Recipe 4

Steps:

• Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add crushed garlic, saute 1 minute. Add salt, pepper, chickpeas and broth, bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes.
• While garlic mixture simmers, cook pasta in boiling water 9 minutes, drain well.
• Place chickpea mixture in a food processor and process until smooth.
• Combine chickpea mixture, pasta, tomatoes, minced garlic, parsley and lemon juice, toss well.
• Sprinkle with cheese. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium. Add garlic and red-pepper flakes, and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds (do not brown). Add chickpeas, season with salt, and cook 5 minutes. 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.
• Add sauce to pasta, and toss. Serve with Parmesan, and garnish with torn basil.

Steps:

• Place all but 1/4 cup of the chickpeas in a food processor or blender, add one cup of water and process until smooth.
• Heat the olive oil with the chili pepper and the garlic in a one quart saucepan.
• Add the onion, parsley, basil and bay leaf; cook, stirring, about five minutes over medium heat.
• Add the whole chickpeas, tomatoes, salt and pepper; bring to a boil and simmer over low heat, covered, for thirty minutes, stirring at least every ten minutes.
• Add water if liquid reduces too much.
• Discard the bay leaf.
• When ready to serve, transfer the hot chickpea sauce to a heated bowl large enough to comfortably hold all the pasta.
• Dilute the sauce with 1/4 cup of pasta cooking water and fold in pasta.
• Serve and pass parmigiana and the grater.

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.

Steps:

• In blender or food processor, puree one can of chickpeas with its liquid. Add second can of chickpeas, tomatoes, spinach, rosemary, parsley and pepper and set aside.
• Prepare garlic, onion and mushrooms and set aside.
• In a large saucepan (at least 3 quarts) add garlic, onion, mushrooms and cook until soft. Add small amounts of water as needed to prevent sticking.
• Start water for pasta.
• Add puree mixture, stirring it often and cook about 5 minutes.
• Begin cooking pasta according to package directions.
• While pasta is cooking, continue cooking puree mixture until it has thickened, about 10 minutes more.
• Toss sauce with cooked rotini and serve.
