Pasta With Chickpeas And Garlic Sauce Recipes

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:

• 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.
• Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add garlic cloves and fry until they are golden brown, about 2 minutes. Stir in onions, rosemary, red pepper flakes and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft, about 10 minutes. Then stir in chickpeas and the cooking liquid, stock or water. Bring to a simmer and cook gently until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes.
• Stir in pasta and parsley, and cook until the pasta has finished cooking and is coated in the sauce, 1 to 2 minutes. Quickly toss in cheese, butter, lemon zest, black pepper to taste and salt if needed. Drizzle with olive oil and shower with additional cheese before serving.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add crushed garlic; sauté 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, omitting salt and fat; drain well. Place chickpea mixture in a food pro-cessor, and process until smooth. Combine chickpea mixture, pasta, tomatoes, minced garlic, fresh parsley, and lemon juice; toss well. Sprinkle with cheese. Serve immediately.

• Add spinach, and lemon juice.
• Cook over medium heat until the sauce is almost syrupy.
